✦ Synopsis


A gene responsible for X-linked mental retardation with macrocephaly and seizures (MRX38) in a family with five affected males in three generations was localized to Xp21.1-p22.13 by linkage analysis. Recombination events placed the gene between DXS1226 distally and DXS1238 proximally, defining an interval of approximately 14 cM. A peak lod score of 2.71 was found with several loci in Xp21.1 (DXS992, DXS1236, DXS997, and DXS1036) at a recombination fraction of zero. The map intervals of 5 Xlinked mental retardation loci, MRX2 (Xp2 1.1-p22.3), MRX29 (Xp2 1 .Z-p22.1), and MRX32 (Xp21.2-p22.1), and two syndromal mental retardation loci, Partington syn- drome (PRTS; Xp22) and Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS; Xp22.13-p22.2), overlap this region. As none of these display the same phenotype seen in the family reported here, this X-linked mental retardation locus may represent a new entity.

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
