X-linked intellectual developmental disorder

Definition:

X-linked intellectual developmental disorder (XLID), formerly known as X-linked mental retardation, is an inherited condition that causes failure to develop cognitive abilities because of mutations in several genes on the X chromosome. XLID is subdivided into syndromic and non-syndromic forms, depending on whether further abnormalities are found on physical examination, laboratory investigation and brain imaging.
