Aldred syndrome is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder. It is mainly characterized by a form of mental retardation and retinitis pigmentosa. The syndrome was first described by geneticist Micheala Aldred in 1994.[1]
Cause[edit]
Aldred syndrome is caused by a deletion on the p11.3 area of the X-chromosome.[2]
