Informations about the disease
Intellectual disability is due to neurological developmental deficits and is characterised by limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour (lack of competence in social, conceptual and practical skills). The most common chromosomal cause of intellectual disability is Down syndrome, the most common genetic cause is Fragile X syndrome, and the most common known preventable or environmental cause is fetal alcohol syndrome. Many genetic disorders include macrocephaly as well as intellectual deficits. The latter is a broad term that includes megalencephaly and other causes of enlargement of the head without cerebral overgrowth, such as subdural fluid accumulation. Macrocephaly is common (2.5% of the population) and is often (partly) genetic (<200 OMIM entries). In a number of syndromes, mental retardation and macrocephaly occur in combination: Beckwith-Wiedemann, Cowden, IMAGE, Sotos, Marshall-Smith, Weaver and rarer syndromes; holoprosencephaly, hydrocephalus, leukodystrophies, etc. An inconspicuous genetic finding does not mean that the suspected clinical diagnosis is excluded.
