We describe two males with intellectual disability (ID) and facial dysmorphism, both of whom have non‐mosaic Y chromosome rearrangements resulting in deletions of large portions of the Y chromosome. Patient A, with ID, mild dysmorphism, speech delay, Duane anomaly of the eye, hypermetropia and condu...
