We report on a large 5-generation family with "nonspecific" X-linked mental retardation. Nine living affected males have an I& between 50 and 70 but have normal stature, facial appearance, and testicular volumes and no other abnormalities. Two obligate carrier females had borderline intellectual abi

A genetic linkage study was performed on a large four-generation family with variable nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX16), speech abnormalities, and retardation of all milestones. Significant linkage was found in the Xq28 region with loci DXS52, DXS15, BGN, and DXS1108 with maximum LOD s
## Abstract We describe two brothers with a unique pattern of malformations that includes coloboma (iris, optic nerve), high forehead, severe retrognathia, mental retardation, and agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC). Both boys have lowโset cupped ears with sensorineural hearing loss, normal phall
