The alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome, X linked, also named ATR-X syndrome is a X-linked mental retardation syndrome. Mutations have been found in the ATRX gene in about one half of the patients. We report a typical clinical case. The clinical evidence leads us to continue the analysis of the gene despite a negative first screening. Indeed a new mutation was found, just behind the helicase domain, bringing up the interest of an effective collaboration between physicians and biologists.
