Proud syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by severe intellectual disabilities, corpus callosum agenesis, epilepsy, and spasticity. It is a type of syndromic X-linked intellectual disability.

Signs and symptoms

[edit]

The following list comprises the symptoms this disorder causes:[1][2]

Symptoms list consists of combined information from GARD and OrphaNet, people with the disorder may not always have all the symptoms.

Causes

[edit]

This condition is caused by X-linked recessive mutations in the ARX gene, in chromosome Xp21.3. Affected males often have symptoms which are more severe than the rare affected females.[3] This gene is thought to be important in interneuronal migration, neuronal proliferation and embryonic brain and testes differentiation.[4]

Epidemiology

[edit]

According to OMIM,[5] only 37 cases have been described in medical literature.[6][7][8][9]
