We identified the mutation causing intellectual disability in the large family and demonstrated its phenotypic effects. Our cases showed that dysmorphic features could be considered mild, whereas intellectual disability and speech disorders are common features in XIDTN. The structure and function of the gene will be better understood in the novel UBE2A mutation. The genotype-phenotype correlation and phenotypic variations in XIDTN were identified through a literature review. Accordingly, XIDTN should be considered in individuals who exhibit an X-linked pedigree pattern and have intellectual disability and speech disorders.
