We describe a 5-generation Hispanic family with 13 males and 1 female affected with MASA syndrome. The proposita, a 17-year-old female, and her affected male relatives shared many of the cognate manifestations--mental retardation (14/14), aphasia or delayed speech (13/13), shuffling gait (8/13) , a

Linkage studies and cytogenetically visible deletions associated with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) and a specific form of deafness (DFN3) have indicated that the genes responsible for these disorders are located at Xq21. Using DNA probes from this region, we have studied several ov
A genetic linkage study was performed on a large four-generation family with variable nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX16), speech abnormalities, and retardation of all milestones. Significant linkage was found in the Xq28 region with loci DXS52, DXS15, BGN, and DXS1108 with maximum LOD s
Families with mentally retarded males found to be negative for FRAXA and FRAXE mutations are useful in understanding the genetic basis of X-linked mental retardation. According to the most recent data (updated to 1999), 69 MRX loci have been mapped and 6 genes cloned. Here we report on a linkage stu
W e report on a family in which nonsyndromal mild to moderate mental retardation segregates as an X-linked trait (MRX41). T w o point linkage analysis demonstrated linkage between the disorder and marker DXS3 in Xq21.33 with a lod score of 2.56 at 0 = 0.0 and marker DXSllO8 in Xq28 with a lod score
