Disease
ARHG6_HUMAN Defects in ARHGEF6 are the cause of mental retardation X-linked type 46 (MRX46) [MIM:300436. Mental retardation is a mental disorder characterized by significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period. Non-syndromic mental retardation patients do not manifest other clinical signs.[1]
