The first case of the MASA Syndrome was found in a little boy in Asia. Masa syndrome can also be identified as the L1CAM gene mutation. This mutation consists of mental retardation, adducted thumbs, shuffling gait, and aphasia. The 10 yr-old boy had no family history of the mutation.

There is not just one specific doctor or scientist for this disorder. Since the L1 syndrome is composed of many X-linked disorders, more than one doctor or scientist may find the disorder in a person. Most of the doctors who find the disorder are Neuroscientists and some Pediatric Neurology specialists.
