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 developmental defect during embryogenesis malformation syndrome characterized by congenital, non-communicating hydrocephalus, cerebellar agenesis and absence of the Luschka and Magendie foramina. Patients present with hypotonia, areflexia or hyporeflexia, seizures and/or cyanosis shortly after birth and is fatal in the neonatal period. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1973. [from ORDO]
