Four families are described in which mental retardation segregates in an X-linked fashion. Mental retardation was the only consistent clinical finding in all affected males. The degree of retardation varied from mild to profound both between and within families. Linkage analysis localized the geneti

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
Nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) is a common disorder. The number of genes involved in this condition is not known, but it is estimated to be more than 10. We present a clinical and linkage study on 3 families with XLMR. All families were analyzed using highly polymorphic markers cover
