โœฆ Synopsis

We report an extended family in which two brothers with a fragile X chromosome are mentally retarded while a third brother with the fragile site is both phenotypically and mentally normal. The study of six probes detecting restriction fragment length polymorphisms on either sides of the fragile site Xq27 confirmed that the fragile X regions inherited by these three brothers were identical from DXS102 to the telomere. These data highlight the heterogeneity of the fragile X syndrome, which is discussed in the framework of the different hypotheses previously proposed.

Data are presented suggesting that the form of X-linked mental retardation with macro-orchidism and the form associated with a fragile site at Xq27 or 28 are the same entity.
