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
We report on 2 brothers with severe manifestations of the whistling-face/windmill-vane-hand syndrome (also called "craniocarpotarsal dystrophy"; Freeman-Sheldon syndrome); they were born to normal, nonconsanguineous parents. Our observations support the theory of causal heterogeneity of this syndrom
## Recent reports on potential linkage by Faraone and the NIMH Genetics Initiative-Millennium Schizophrenia Consortium [1997: Am J Med Genet 74:557], and by Straub et al. [1997: Am J Med Genet 74:558], prompted us to study chromosome 10 in a sample of 72 families containing 2 or more affected sibs
