## Abstract Mutation at the ATRβX locus is associated with severe mental retardation. Several conditions, initially reported as clinically distinct phenotypes, have now been attributed to ATRβX mutation. Asplenia, in association with severe mental retardation, has been reported and subsequently dem
The publication of 2 studies in this issueoftheJourna1 [Fisch, 1992; Reiss and Freund, 19921 on the relationship between the fragile X [fra(X)] and autistic syndromes provides an appropriate time to review the continuing debate about whether or not there is a relationshipbetween these 2 syndromes.
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
X-linked alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome (ATR-X) is a syndromic form of X-linked mental retardation. We investigated the X-inactivation status of nine female ATR-X carriers by methylation-specific PCR of the HUMARA gene. Six carriers demonstrated a skewed X-inactivation pattern (>90:10
