The study of the neurobehavioral consequences of mutations of FMR1, the gene responsible for fragile X syndrome (FraX), has been based largely on correlations between mutation patterns and cognitive profile. Following the characterization of FMRP, the FMR1 gene product, preliminary correlations betw

This is the first report that details an association between fragile X syndrome (FXS) and selective mutism (SM). This 12-year-old girl with heterozygous full mutation at FMR1 has a long history of social anxiety and shyness in addition to SM. Her sister also has the full mutation and a history of SM
The relationship between apo E genotypes and risk of dementia in Down syndrome is not clear. Accordingly, we have analysed this locus in 20 demented and 25 nondemented individuals with Down syndrome and combined these data with other studies in a meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed an estimate
## X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an impairment in peroxisomal โค-oxidation of very long straight-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). Six clinical phenotypes have been delineated: childhood cerebral (CCALD), adolescent cerebral (AdolCALD), adult cerebral (ACAL
The tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome demonstrates kinky curly hair, thin-pitted enamel, taurodontism, and thickening of cortical bone. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the phenotypic variation of TDO in 3, previously unreported, kindreds and to examine possible candidates for
