The identification of X-linked mental retardation genes (XLMR) represents a challenge of considerable medical importance, given the reported high cumulative frequency of this heterogenous disorder, estimated at approximately 1/600 male births. Whereas pooling families is useful to fine-map genetic l
The initial goal of this study was to localize as many genes as possible that lead to syndromic and non-specific XLMR. More recently, this goal has been redefined to include narrowing these localizations and cloning specific genes. In the last 5 years, 61 families have participated in this study; 34
