摘要
ATRX mutations are commonly associated with alpha-thalassaemia mental retardation syndrome (ATR-X syndrome) with a notable variable expressivity. This X-linked disorder is characterized by intellectual disability (ID) in a higher or lesser degree, in which the alpha-thalassaemia feature is not always present. Other phenotypic manifestations like facial dimorphism, hypotonia, microcephaly, skeletal abnormalities or urogenital malformations have been frequently observed in ATR-X syndrome. Herein, we report a missense ATRX mutation (Thr1621Met) in a patient with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis. Except for ID, no typical signs of ATR-X syndrome were found in the patient. These results confirm the extensive phenotypic variability associated to ATRX mutations and show the involvement of this gene in the ASD.
