Fragile X syndrome:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Small children may have relatively few identifiable physical characteristics; behavioral or learning difficulties may be the initial presenting features.
Many adult male patients display a prominent jaw and forehead and a head circumference exceeding the 90th percentile. A long, narrow face with long or large ears that may be posteriorly rotated can be a helpful finding at all ages. Connective tissue abnormalities — including hyperextension of the fingers, a floppy mitral valve (in 80% of adults), and mild to severe pectus excavatum — have also been reported. Unusually large testes, found in most affected males after puberty, are an important identifying factor of the disorder.
The average IQ of a person with fragile X syndrome is comparable to that of a person with Down syndrome; however, the behavioral characteristics are quite different. Hyperactivity, speech difficulties, language delay, and autistic-like behaviors may be attributed to other disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and thus delay the diagnosis.
Approximately 50% of females with the FMR1 full mutation will have clinical symptoms, although the degree of severity and number of symptoms vary widely among females with fragile X syndrome. Those who are symptomatic typically have a much milder clinical presentation than males due to having an unaffected X chromosome in addition to the one with an FMR1 full mutation. Some degree of cognitive impairment is usually present in symptomatic females. Learning disabilities — math difficulties, language deficits, and attentional problems — are most common. Some females can have IQ scores in the mental retardation range. Although affected females can have autistic-like features, excessive shyness or social anxiety are the more common behavioral symptoms. Prominent ears and the connective tissue manifestations may be as significant as in males. Although males with the FMR1 permutation are asymptomatic, some female carriers of an FMR1 premutation can have associated symptoms. These symptoms include significantly earlier menopause and a low normal performance IQ.

X-linked infantile hypogammaglobulinemia:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Typically, the infant with X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia is asymptomatic until age 6 months, when transplacental maternal immunoglobulins that provided immunity have been depleted. He then develops recurrent bacterial otitis media, pneumonia, dermatitis, bronchitis, and meningitis — usually caused by pneumococci, streptococci, Haemophilus influenzae, or other gram-negative organisms. Purulent conjunctivitis, abnormal dental caries, and polyarthritis resembling rheumatoid arthritis may also occur. Severe malabsorption associated with infestation by Giardia lamblia may retard development. Despite recurrent infections, lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly are usually absent.
