As part of an integrated approach to DNAlinkage analysis in X-linked mental retardation (XLMR), 29 members of five families suspected of having XLMR underwent psychometric assessment. Mental retardation was confirmed in all participants. The range of mental retardation varied from mild to profound w

The identification of X-linked mental retardation genes (XLMR) represents a challenge of considerable medical importance, given the reported high cumulative frequency of this heterogenous disorder, estimated at approximately 1/600 male births. Whereas pooling families is useful to fine-map genetic l
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
