Corpus callosum agenesis-abnormal genitalia syndrome is a rare, genetic developmental defect during embryogenesis syndrome characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum, mild to severe neurological manifestations (intellectual disability, developmental delay, epilepsy, dystonia), and urogenital anomalies (hypospadias, cryptorchidism, renal dysplasia, ambiguous genitalia). Additionally, skeletal anomalies (limb contractures, scoliosis), dysmorphic facial features (large eyes, prominent supraorbital ridges, synophris) and optic atrophy have been observed.

ARX encodes aristaless related homeobox (562 aa). Transcription factor. Binds to specific sequence motif 5'-TAATTA-3' in regulatory elements of target genes, such as histone demethylase KDM5C. Positively modulates transcription of KDM5C. Highest expression in Ovary (139.1 TPM) and Brain Anterior cingulate cortex BA24 (11.7 TPM).
Corpus callosum agenesis-abnormal genitalia syndrome is associated with mutations in the ARX gene on chromosome X.
The ARX protein participates in SLIT2 gene expression is stimulated by ISL1 and Primary multipotent pancreatic progenitor cell produces trunk bipotent pancreatic progenitor cell pathways.
ARX is classified as a druggable target (Transcription Factor category) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for ARX is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 1 always present feature.
Estimated prevalence: Unknown (Unknown prevalence).
