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

β¦ Synopsis
We report on a female with lymphedema, facial anomalies, intestinal lymphangiectasia, and moderate mental retardation consistent with the diagnosis of Hennekam syndrome. In addition, she had a number of other anomalies not previously described in this autosomal recessive disorder, including a congenital heart defect, atretic ear canals, vesicoureteral reflux, and rectal prolapse.

Fibrochondrogenesis is a very rare form of lethal short-limb dwarfism, with 8 cases described since it was first reported in 1978. It is becoming clear that this condition has certain radiological and histological characteristics that distinguish it from other skeletal dysplasias. We herein present
We report on two sibs with a paracentric inversion of chromosome 1 [inv(1)(p22.3p34.1)] and a small deletion of the same chromosome (p34.1βp34.3). They presented with learning disabilities and disturbed conduct but lacked the more severe manifestations usually associated with autosomal chromosome de
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
