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
Linkage analysis was performed in a family with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX). Affected individuals had no clinical characteristics other than mental retardation. Linkage was detected to the marker loci DXS477, DXS465, DXS52, DXS15 and F8C with maximum lod scores of 1.70, 1.32, 2.52,
Recently linkage has been described between the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene and a cloned DNA sequence, RC8, that detects restriction fragment length polymorphism and is derived from the distal short arm of the X chromosome. Positive lod scores between RC8 and Xg prompted us to examine the
