| Nearly all reported cases of Aicardi syndrome are sporadic and in females. The disorder is believed to result from new gene mutations. Aicardi syndrome is classified as an X-linked dominant condition[{{ :content:xlinkdominant.jpeg?300|Credit:U.S National Library of Medicine}}. In 2015 mutation in gene [[https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=TEAD1|TEAD1]] was found to be associated with Aicardi syndrome[(:cite:>{{pubmed>long:26091538}})]. This was the first genetic mutation associated with Aicardi syndrome to be reported. This study also found that TEAD1 mutations may be present in males. | * Nearly all reported cases of Aicardi syndrome are sporadic and in females and believed to result from new gene mutations |
