✦ Synopsis

A gene responsible for a non-specific form of X-linked mental retardation (MRxI9) was localised by linkage analysis. Exclusions and regional localisation were made using 21 highly informative PCR-based markers along the X chromosome. Significant lod scores at a recombination fraction of zero were detected with the marker loci DXS207, DXS987 (Zmax = 3.58) and DXS999 (Zmax = 3.28) indicating that this gene is localised to the proximal portion of Xp22. Recombination between MRx19 and the flanking loci KAL and DXS989 was observed. The multipoint CEPH background map, with map distances in cM, is DXS996-1.8-KAL.-19.0-DXS365-14.0-DXS989. T w o other MRX disorders and two syndromal mental retardations, Coffin-Lowry syndrome and Partington syndrome, have been mapped to this region. There is a possibility that the 3 MRX disorders are the same entity. Most MRX disorders remain clustered around the pericentromeric region.

Two genes responsible for X-linked mental retardation have been localised by linkage analysis. MRX30 maps to a 28 cM region flanked by the loci DXS990 (Xq21.3) and DXS424 (Xq24). A significant multipoint lod score of 2.78 was detected between the loci DXSll20 and DXS456. MRX31 maps to a 12 cM region

MRX genes of 2 families with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) were localized by linkage analysis. In family A, the gene was mapped to Xp22.31-p22.32, with significant LOD scores to various Xp22 markers within a distance of 6 Mb between DXS1223 and DXS1224. The MRX gene of this family was designate
