X-linked intellectual disability related to a novel variant of KLHL15.

Kelch-like (KLHL) 15, localized on chromosome Xp22.11, was recently identified as an X-linked intellectual disability gene. Herein, we report a case of a male patient with a novel nonsense variant, c.736 C > T p.(Arg246*), in KLHL15, who presented with impaired intelligence, short stature, frequent hypoglycemia, and periodic fever. Patients with nonsense variants in KLHL15 may develop intellectual disabilities, minor skeletal anomalies, and facial dysmorphisms.
