Christianson syndrome
Definition:
Christianson syndrome (CS) is a rare, X-linked mental retardation syndrome, caused by mutations in SLC9A6. CS is characterized by severe intellectual disability, microcephaly, epilepsy, ataxia, and absent speech. The clinical phenotype of CS mimics Angelman syndrome and CS was initially called X-linked Angelman-like syndrome.
