The aristaless-related homeobox (ARX) gene encodes a protein of 562 amino acids which contains two conserved domains, a C-peptide (or aristaless domain) and the prd-like class homeobox domain. ARX is a member of the group-II aristaless-related protein family and is expressed in fetal and adult brain and skeletal muscle. It may be involved in the differentiation and maintenance of neuronal cell types in the human central nervous system. Defects in the ARX gene are associated with various disorders including, X-linked mental retardation (XLMR), X-linked lissencephaly with abnormal genitalia (XLAG), X-linked infantile spasm syndrome (ISSX), X-linked myoclonic epilepsy with intellectual disability and spasticity (XMEDS), Partington syndrome (PRTS), non-specific X-linked mental retardation type 36 (MRX36), and non-specific X-linked mental retardation type 54 (MRX54).
