Disease Associations

Mental retardation, X-linked 46 (MRX46) [MIM:300436]: A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. Intellectual deficiency is the only primary symptom of non- syndromic X-linked mental retardation, while syndromic mental retardation presents with associated physical, neurological and/or psychiatric manifestations. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous.
