Nineteen cases of duplication of segments of the long arm of chromosome X have been published in 13 males and in 6 females. We report an additional case of a male with growth and mental retardation, growth hormone deficiency, compensated primary hypothyroidism, distinctive anomalies of the face, hypoplastic genitalia, and hypotonia in whom inverted duplication of a segment in the long arm of X chromosome was diagnosed, 46,Y, dup (X)(q21.2q13.3), and mosaicism was demonstrated in his mother's X chromosome. The rearranged segment was diagnosed utilizing high resolution G-band technique and FISH studies, using chromosome X total chromosome probe and DNA XIST probe. This appears to be the first report of a patient with duplication of Xq and hypothyroidism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D002658 Developmental Disabilities Disorders in which there is a delay in development based on that expected for a given age level or stage of development. These impairments or disabilities originate before age 18, may be expected to continue indefinitely, and constitute a substantial impairment. Biological and nonbiological factors are involved in these disorders.
