Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Sex-linked mental retardation, short stature, obesity and hypogonadism; Young Hughes syndrome
SNOMED CT: X-linked intellectual disability, hypogonadism, ichthyosis, obesity, short stature syndrome (765471005); Young Hughes syndrome (765471005)
Modes of inheritance:
X-linked recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:

•Concept ID:
C1845977

Finding
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for recessive traits related to a gene encoded on the X chromosome. In the context of medical genetics, X-linked recessive disorders manifest in males (who have one copy of the X chromosome and are thus hemizygotes), but generally not in female heterozygotes who have one mutant and one normal allele.

Definition

A rare X-linked intellectual disability syndrome with characteristics of intellectual disability associated with short stature, obesity, primary hypogonadism and an ichthyosiform skin condition. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1982. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
