About X-linked intellectual disability, Stevenson type

What is X-linked intellectual disability, Stevenson type?

X-linked intellectual disability, Stevenson type (XLID-ST) is a rare genetic disorder that affects intellectual and developmental abilities. It is caused by a mutation in the ARX gene, which is located on the X chromosome. Symptoms of XLID-ST can include intellectual disability, delayed development, seizures, and behavioral problems. It is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern, meaning that it is passed from mother to son.
