Mental retardation unassociated with the Fragile X syndrome accounts for up to 60% of patients with X-linked mental retardation. In this investigation, we report on a family with mild non-specific X-linked mental retardation (MRX) without other apparent phenotypic abnormalities. Linkage analysis on

A genetic linkage study was performed on a large four-generation family with variable nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX16), speech abnormalities, and retardation of all milestones. Significant linkage was found in the Xq28 region with loci DXS52, DXS15, BGN, and DXS1108 with maximum LOD s
Nonspecific X-linked mental retardation is a heterogeneous condition consisting of nonsyndromal mental retardation in males. It is caused by mutation in one of several genes on the X chromosome (MRX genes). Here we report on the localization of a presumptive MRX gene to chromosomal region Xq24-q26 i
## Abstract Isolated mental retardation is clinically and genetically heterogenous and may be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or Xβlinked manner. We report here a linkage analysis in a large family including 15 members, 6 of whom presenting Xβlinked nonβsyndromic mental ret
