New X-linked mental retardation syndrome with the gene mapped tentatively in Xp22.3

Abstract: X‐linked mental retardation (XLMR) is genetically heterogeneous and clinically variable. We describe a new XLMR syndrome of severe mental retardation and multiple congenital anomalies. Two sisters have (with 3 different partners) 3 severely handicapped sons. In 2 cases, oligohydramnios and intrauterine growth retardation were noted. Common anomalies included a square‐shaped face, high and broad forehead, frontal bossing, downward slant of palpebral fissures, hypertelorism, epicanthic folds, long philtrum, thin… Show more

“…Furthermore, urogenital anomalies, malrotation of the gut, and abnormal two segmentation of the lungs have been described. In addition, to the clinical findings described by Wittwer et al [1996] skeletal changes seem to be typical. Radiographic examination revealed dysplastic lesions in the proximal femora (Fig.…”

“…In III2 a recombination event occurred between DXS8095 and DXYS231X. In view of the results of linkage analysis performed by Wittwer et al [1996] the locus maps in Xp22.3 into the region between DXS8095 and DXS7108. Therefore, the mapping interval can be narrowed to a region of 3.9–6.1 Mb.…”
