As part of an integrated approach to DNAlinkage analysis in X-linked mental retardation (XLMR), 29 members of five families suspected of having XLMR underwent psychometric assessment. Mental retardation was confirmed in all participants. The range of mental retardation varied from mild to profound w

The Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) critical region on 15q11-q13 is subject to imprinting. PWS becomes apparent when genes on the paternally inherited chromosome are not expressed. Familial PWS is rare. We report on a family in which a male and a female paternal first cousin both have PWS with cytogenet
We report on a mother and child with a paracentric inversion of the long arm of chromosome 18: 46,XX,inv( )(q21.1q23). The child had findings in common with those seen in 18q-syndrome including: microcephaly, epicanthal folds, midface hypoplasia, and abnormally modeled ears, dermatoglyphic whorls on
We describe a male child with craniofacial anomalies, postnatal onset growth retardation, microcephaly, multiple minor anomalies, hearing loss, and moderate delay of mental and statomotor development. He carries a previously undescribed tandem translocation between the long arm of chromosome 14 and
X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) includes distinct entities in which mental deficiency is either associated with specific abnormalities (syndromal) or not (nonsyndromal). We report on the clinical, neuropsychological, and laboratory findings and linkage analysis in one family with XLMR and isolate
Cryptic rearrangements involving the telomeres are thought to account for a substantial number of patients with unexplained mental retardation and multiple congenital anomalies, although the exact incidence of these rearrangements is still unclear. With the advent of chromosome-specific telomeric pr
