要旨

Background

The X chromosome has historically been one of the most thoroughly investigated chromosomes regarding intellectual disability (ID), whose etiology is attributed to many factors including copy number variations (CNVs). Duplications of the long arm of the X chromosome have been reported in patients with ID, short stature, facial anomalies, and in many cases hypoplastic genitalia and/or behavioral abnormalities.
Methods

Here, we report on a large Iranian family with X‐linked ID caused by a duplication on the X chromosome identified by whole genome sequencing in combination with linkage analysis.
Results

Seven affected males in different branches of the family presented with ID, short stature, seizures, facial anomalies, behavioral abnormalities (aggressiveness, self‐injury, anxiety, impaired social interactions, and shyness), speech impairment, and micropenis. The duplication of the region Xq13.2q13.3, which is ~1.8 Mb in size, includes seven protein‐coding OMIM genes. Three of these genes, namely SLC16A2, RLIM, and NEXMIF, if impaired, can lead to syndromes presenting with ID. Of note, this duplicated region was located within a linkage interval with a LOD score >3.
Conclusion

Our report indicates that CNVs should be considered in multi‐affected families where no candidate gene defect has been identified in sequencing data analysis.
