We report linkage analysis in a new family with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation, using 27 polymorphic markers covering the entire X-chromosome. We could assign the underlying disease gene, denoted MRX65, to the pericentromeric region, with flanking markers DXS573 in Xp11.3 and DXS990 in Xq21
Nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX) is a heterogeneous condition in which mental retardation (MR) appears to be the only consistent manifestation. A large genetic interval of assignment obtained on individual families by linkage analysis, genetic, heterogeneity, and phenotypic variability
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
Linkage analysis was performed in three generations of a French family segregating a syndromal form of X-linked mental retardation. All affected males had neonatal hypotonia, seizures, muscular hypodevelopment, and severe mental deficiency. A peak lod score of 2.90 at a recombination fraction of the
