Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization analysis identified a 737-kb microdeletion of Xq11.1, including the cell division cycle 42 guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF)-9 gene (ARHGEF9), encoding collybistin, which has a pivotal role in formation of postsynaptic glycine and γ-aminobutyric acid receptor clusters, in a male patient with severe mental retardation and epilepsy.
