X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) includes distinct entities in which mental deficiency is either associated with specific abnormalities (syndromal) or not (nonsyndromal). We report on the clinical, neuropsychological, and laboratory findings and linkage analysis in one family with XLMR and isolate
We identified a family with three males in two generations with moderate mental retardation. The two oldest were first cousins whose mothers were sisters. The third affected was a grandson through a daughter of one of the sisters, strongly suggesting Xlinked inheritance. The affected males had promi
Of the gene-rich regions of the human genome, Xq28 is the most densely mapped. Mutations of genes in this band are responsible for 10 syndromal forms of mental retardation and 5 nonsyndromal forms. Clinical and molecular studies reported here add an additional syndromic form of X-linked mental retar
We describe a three-generation family in which X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) is associated with minor facial anomalies and brachydactyly. Two brothers and four nephews have "coarse" facial appearance, brachydactyly with widening of the distal phalanges, short stature, and moderate mental retard
