β¦ Synopsis
Rett syndrome (RS) was diagnosed in a girl with a t(X;22)(p11.22;pll). This translocation was also present in her unaffected mother and her sister affected by a neurological disorder compatible with a ''forme fruste" of RS. Different etiological mechanisms are considered: gene disruption, X inactivation disturbance, metabolic interference. Whatever this may be, the localization of a RS related gene to the short arm of chromosome X is likely.

There are rare female patients who suffer from Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy because they carry an X;autosome translocation with a breakpoint in the dystrophin gene. We have defined the positions of seven of these breakpoints with respect to exon-containing HindIII fragments detected by dyst
## Abstract We observed a boy with short stature, chondrodysplasia punctata, ichthyosis, and a terminal deletion of Xp. Steroid sulfatase deficiency was demonstrated in the patient's fibroblasts. Molecular analysis showed a deletion of the entire steroid sulfatase gene. This case represents another
