In adolescent or older patients, this phenotype overlaps but is not identical with Borjeson–Forssman–Lehmann syndrome in males, caused by X‐linked recessive mutations in PHF6. In younger girls there seems to be a striking phenotypic overlap with Coffin–Siris syndrome, which is characterized by intellectual disability, sparse hair and hypoplastic nails. This review will summarize and characterize the female phenotype caused by de novo aberrations in PHF6 and will discuss the overlapping and distinguishing features with Coffin–Siris syndrome. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
