X-linked acrogigantism due to Xq26 microduplication

X-linked acrogigantism due to Xq26 microduplication is a rare genetic condition linked to changes on the X chromosome. The condition is known for its association with abnormal growth, sometimes leading to accelerated growth in infancy. It is also known by several other names, including familial infantile gigantism due to Xq26 microduplication and chromosome Xq26 microduplication syndrome. This condition involves a duplication of a region on the X chromosome, specifically Xq26.3, where the gene CXDUPQ26.3 is located. Information about this condition is still evolving, and detailed clinical descriptions are limited. The summary here is based on data from OMIM, Orphanet, GARD, and known gene information.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

X-linked acrogigantism due to Xq26 microduplication is caused by a duplication of genetic material on the X chromosome. This microduplication occurs in the region labeled Xq26.3, affecting the gene CXDUPQ26.3. The condition is inherited in an X-linked manner, meaning it can run in families. More detailed information about the exact mechanisms and risk factors remains limited.

Information about treatment options and management approaches is currently limited for this condition.

Information about prognosis is currently limited for this condition.

Research on X-linked acrogigantism due to Xq26 microduplication is ongoing. Studies are working to better understand the genetic changes and clinical impact of the condition, but detailed research findings are not widely available at this time.
