## Linkage analysis was performed on a fourgeneration family with nonspecific mental retardation (MRX59 ). The five affected males, ranging in age from 2 years to 52 years, have a normal facial appearance and mild to severe mental impairment. Four obligate carriers are physically normal and not ret
Two families with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) are presented. In the first family, MRX49, 5 male patients in 2 generations showed mild to moderate mental retardation. Two-point linkage analysis with 28 polymorphic markers, dispersed over the X-chromosome, yielded a maximal LOD scor
We describe a large family with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX 47). An X-linked recessive transmission is suggested by the inheritance from the mothers in two generations of a moderate to severe form of mental retardation in six males, without any specific clinical findings. Two point
Nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX) is a heterogeneous condition in which mental retardation (MR) appears to be the only consistent manifestation. A large genetic interval of assignment obtained on individual families by linkage analysis, genetic, heterogeneity, and phenotypic variability
