Nonspecific X-linked mental retardation is a heterogeneous condition consisting of nonsyndromal mental retardation in males. It is caused by mutation in one of several genes on the X chromosome (MRX genes). Here we report on the localization of a presumptive MRX gene to chromosomal region Xq24-q26 i
A gene for nonsyndromic X-linked mental retardation (MRX77) maps to Xq12-Xq21.33

Three boys from two families were identified as having a syndrome of X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) with microcephaly and short stature, clinically resembling Renpenning syndrome but with normal size of testicles in affected men. When the effort to map the gene for the above condition was initia
## Abstract Isolated mental retardation is clinically and genetically heterogenous and may be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or Xβlinked manner. We report here a linkage analysis in a large family including 15 members, 6 of whom presenting Xβlinked nonβsyndromic mental ret
W e report on a family in which nonsyndromal mild to moderate mental retardation segregates as an X-linked trait (MRX41). T w o point linkage analysis demonstrated linkage between the disorder and marker DXS3 in Xq21.33 with a lod score of 2.56 at 0 = 0.0 and marker DXSllO8 in Xq28 with a lod score
