Abstract

Submicroscopic chromosomal anomalies play an important role in the aetiology of intellectual disability (ID) and have been shown to account for up to 10% of non-syndromic forms. We present a family with two affected boys compatible with X-linked inheritance of a phenotype of severe neurodevelopmental disorder co-segregating with a deletion in Xp22.11 exclusively containing the PTCHD1 gene. Although the exact function of this gene is unknown to date, the structural overlap of its encoded patched domain-containing protein 1, the transmembrane protein involved in the sonic hedgehog pathway, and its expression in human cortex and cerebellum as well as in mice and drosophila brain suggests a causative role of its nullisomy in the developmental phenotype of our family. Our findings support the recent notions that PTCHD1 may play a role in X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) and autism disorders.
