We report a 6‐year‐old female with linear skin hyperpigmentation on the axillae and groin, intellectual disability, dysplastic teeth and nails, and facial dysmorphism who was diagnosed with a novel PHF6 pathogenic splicing variant. Males with PHF6 mutations have been associated with the X‐linked recessive disorder Börjeson‐Forssman‐Lehmann, but females have a distinct phenotype which is likely modulated by X‐inactivation.
