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

We have tested the hypothesis that contrasting X-inactivation patterns could be a trigger for monozygotic twinning in females. X-inactivation patterns were studied in umbilical cord tissue in 43 monozygotic twin pairs and 24 dizygotic twin pairs. Very skewed or non-random X-inactivation patterns wer
