A loss-of-function mutation in the SLC9A6 gene causes X-linked mental retardation resembling Angelman syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

SLC9A6 mutations have been reported in families in whom X-linked mental retardation (XMR) mimics Angelman syndrome (AS). However, the relative importance of SLC9A6 mutations in patients with an AS-like phenotype or XMR has not been fully investigated. Here, the involvement of SLC9A6 mutations in 22 males initially suspected to have AS but found on genetic testing not to have AS (AS-like cohort), and 104 male...
