| Abstract | Background Xp11.22 duplications have been reported to contribute to nonsyndromic intellectual disability (ID). The HUWE1 gene has been identified in all male Xp11.22 duplication patients and is associated with nonsyndromic ID. Currently, few Xp11.22 duplication cases have been reported in the Chinese population, with limited knowledge regarding the role of other genes in this interval. Case presentation We investigated four unrelated Chinese male Xp11.22 duplication patients, performed a comprehensive clinical evaluation for the patients and discussed the role of other genes in this interval. All patients presented with similar clinical features, including ID, speech impairments and motor delay, which were mostly consistent with those of the Xp11.22 duplication described previously. We searched and compared all cases and noted that one of the probands (Family 1) and DECIPHER case 263,219, who carried small overlapping duplications at Xp11.22 that only covered the entire HSD17B10 gene, also suffered from ID, suggesting the important role of HSD17B10 in this interval. Furthermore, three patients (two probands in Families 3 and 4 and DECIPHER case 249,490) had strikingly similar hypogonadism phenotypes, including micropenis, small testes and cryptorchidism, which have not been previously described in Xp11.22 duplication patients. Interestingly, the FGD1 gene was duplicated only in these three patients. Sufficient evidence has suggested that haploinsufficiency of the FGD1 gene causes Aarskog-Scott syndrome, which is characterized by hypogonadism and other abnormalities. Given that, we are the first group to propose that FGD1 may be a potential dosage-sensitive gene responsible for the hypogonadism observed in our patients. Conclusion We reported novel genotypes and phenotypes in Chinese male Xp11.22 duplication patients, and the HSD17B10 and FGD1 genes may be involved. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
