title: Intelligence and development in Aarskog syndrome.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To test the hypothesis that overall intelligence quotient (IQ) is decreased in patients with Aarskog syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  21 boys under 17 years of age with a confirmed clinical diagnosis of Aarskog syndrome were assessed using the Griffiths mental development scales and the British ability scales.
  
  
  RESULTS
  IQ ranged from 68 to 128 and followed a normal distribution.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This study does not support the hypothesis that Aarskog syndrome is associated with a lowering of mean IQ.
