confirmed clinical diagnosis of Aarskog syndrome were assessed using
the Griffiths mental development scales and the British ability scales.
RESULTSIQ ranged from 68 to 128 and followed a
normal distribution.
CONCLUSIONThis study does not support the
hypothesis that Aarskog syndrome is associated with a lowering of mean IQ.
