ABSTRACT

Resumen Los hallazgos de síndromes dismórficos asociados a cromosomopatía ligada a X y epilepsia son de presentación infrecuente. Presentamos un caso de alteración genética en un paciente masculino, con microduplicación ligada al cromosoma X MECP2 y antecedente familiar de hermano con fenotipo similar, que comparten línea sanguínea materna, de diferentes padres. El síndrome dismórfico ligado a cromosoma X MECP2 (methyl-CpG-binding protein2), causan grave retraso mental, encefalopatía epiléptica e infecciones recurrentes del aparato respiratorio y consecuentemente pueden además tener una epilepsia resistente al manejo farmacológico.
