Xia-Gibbs syndrome (XGS) is a very rare genetic condition. The clinical spectrum is very broad and variable. We report the phenotype and evolution in a Congolese boy with XGS. At 6 years he had speech delay, drooling, marked hyperactivity, attention deficit, aggressive behavior and intellectual disability. Dysmorphological evaluation revealed strabismus, mild unilateral ptosis, uplifted ear lobes, flat philtrum, thin upper lip vermillion, high arched palate and flat feet. Patient-only whole exome sequencing identified a known pathogenic frameshift variant in the AHDC1 gene [NM_001029882.3(AHDC1):c.1122dupC;(p.Gly375ArgfsTer3)]. The clinical follow-up revealed the deterioration of his fine motor skills and significant cerebellar phenotype including tremor, pes cavus and gait instability at the age of 12 years. We compared this patient to three previously reported patients with the same variant but did not identify a consistent pattern in the evolution of symptoms with age.
