โฆ Synopsis
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 that spans the centromere from DXS1126 (Xp11.23) to DXS1124 (Xq13.3). Significant two-point lod scores, at a recombination fraction of zero, were obtained with the loci DXS991 (Zmax = 2.06), AR (Zmax = 3.44), PGKlPl (Zmax = 2.06) and DXS453 (Zmax = 3.31). The MRX30 localisation overlaps that of MRX8,13,20 and 26 and defines the position of a new MRX gene on the basis of a set of non-overlapping regional localisations. The MRX31 localisation overlaps the localisations of many of the pericentromeric MRX loci (
