Fragile X syndrome is recognized as the most common inherited cause of mental retardation in western countries. The prevalence of the fragile X syndrome in Asian populations is uncertain. We report a multi-institutional collaborative study of molecular screening for the fragile X syndrome from 1,127

As part of an integrated approach to DNAlinkage analysis in X-linked mental retardation (XLMR), 29 members of five families suspected of having XLMR underwent psychometric assessment. Mental retardation was confirmed in all participants. The range of mental retardation varied from mild to profound w
We report on a 15-year-old compound heterozygous young woman with fragile X syndrome who has a full mutation of 363 repeats on one X chromosome and a premutat i o n o f 1 0 3 r e p e a t s o n t h e o t h e r X chromosome. As predicted, subsequent testing demonstrated that her father carries a premu
Cytogenetic studies have shown that 40-60% of patients with Ullrich-Turner syndrome (UTS) are 45,X, whereas the rest have structural aberrations of the X chromosome or mosaicism with a second cell line containing a structurally normal or abnormal X or Y chromosome. However, molecular analysis has de
Fragile X (FraX) syndrome is the most common cause of inherited mental retardation. The FraX gene (FMR1) has been cloned, and the mutation causing the disease is now known. We estimated the effect of FraX on dental development in 28 affected boys (aged 4.9-17.6 years) and three carrier girls (aged 5
