Three male patients with X-linked alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation (ATR-X) syndrome in a large French family are reported. Diagnosis was suspected on particular craniofacial dysmorphism associated with severe mental retardation and X-linked transmission. Hematological investigations, and in particular presence of Hb H inclusions in two of the boys, confirmed diagnosis. The clinical, hematological and radiological features are discussed in order to better define what appears to be a characteristic phenotype.
报道了一个法裔大家庭中的3名患有X连锁α地中海贫血/智力发育迟缓(ATR-X)综合征的男性患者。诊断是基于与严重智力发育迟缓相关的特殊颅面部畸形以及X连锁遗传而怀疑的。血液学检查,特别是其中两名男孩中存在Hb H包涵体,证实了诊断。对临床、血液学和放射学特征进行了讨论,以便更好地界定这一似乎具有特征性的表型。
