Linkage data using the markers F9 (factor IX), DXS15 (DX131, and DXS134 (cpX67) are presented from 26 pedigrees segregating with fragile X (fra[XI) syndrome. Cytogenetic and DNA data were combined in 2-point linkage analysis for the estimation of lod scores and carrier probabilities in potential car
To begin to understand the population dynamics of the fragile X (FRAXA) mutation and to learn more about the fragile X E (FRAXE) syndrome, we have initiated a survey of children in special needs education programs in the public school system. With respect to the FRAXA syndrome, we found approximatel
