Forty‐seven patients (44 females, 3 males) have been described. We identified 31 additional individuals carrying 29 unique <jats:italic><jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">DDX</jats:styled-content>3X</jats:italic> variants, including 30 postnatal individuals with complex clinical presentations of developmental delay or <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ID</jats:styled-content>, and one fetus with abnormal ultrasound findings. Rare or novel phenotypes observed include respiratory problems, congenital heart disease, skeletal muscle mitochondrial <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">DNA</jats:styled-content> depletion, and late‐onset neurologic decline. Our findings expand the spectrum of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">DNA</jats:styled-content> variants and phenotypes associated with <jats:italic><jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">DDX</jats:styled-content>3X</jats:italic> disorders.</jats:p>
