✦ Synopsis


In a four-generation family, chondrodysplasia punctata was found in a boy and one of his maternal uncles. These two patients also have short stature, as do all female members of the family, DNA molecular analysis of the pseudoautosomal and Xp22.3-specific loci revealed the presence of an interstitial deletion that cosegregates with the phenotypic abnormalities. The proximal breakpoint of this deletion was located distal to the DXS31 locus and the distal breakpoint in the pseudoautosomal region between DXYS59 and DXYS17. This maps the recessive X-linked form of chondrodysplasia punctata between the proximal boundary of the pseudoautosomal region and DXS31, and an Xp gene controlling growth between DXYS59 and DXS31.

Short stature in females is often caused by hemizygosity for the terminal portion of Xp due to monosomy X or a deletion. We report on a mother and daughter with short stature as sole phenotypic abnormality and deletion of bands Xp22.32-p22.33 demonstrated by classic and molecular cytogenetic analysi

Although genotype-phenotype correlations in male patients with various types of nullisomy for Xp22.3 have assigned a locus for Xlinked mental retardation (MRX) to an approximately 3-Mb region between DXS31 and STS, the precise location has not been determined. In this paper, we describe a 1 4 7 / ~~
