Regional localization of a nonspecific X-linked mental retardation gene (MRX59) to Xp21.2-p22.2

Abstract: Linkage analysis was performed on a four-generation family with nonspecific mental retardation (MRX59). The five affected males, ranging in age from 2 years to 52 years, have a normal facial appearance and mild to severe mental impairment. Four obligate carriers are physically normal and not retarded. A maximum LOD score of 2.41 at straight theta = 0.00 was observed with the microsatellite markers, DMD45 in Xp21.2, DXS989 in Xp22.1, and DXS207 in Xp22.2. Recombinations were detected within the dystrophin gene … Show more

“…Since the AP1S2 gene mutation was identified as the cause of PGS in 2006, only nine AP1S2 mutations have been found in literatures, including eight point mutations and a microdeletion (Bassani et al., ; Carpenter, Brown, Qu, & Keenan, ; Kongsvik et al., ; Pettigrew et al., ; Tzschach et al., ). Our researches focused on eight mutations in AP1S2.…”

“…At the same time, delayed in walking, abnormal speech, hypotonia, and hydrocephalus were common (Table ). Some patients could not even talk or walk for their lives (Carpenter et al., ; Pettigrew et al., ). Nevertheless, in this study, muscular tension was normal before 4 years old, and the occurrence of hypotonia was later than other cases reported.…”

“…7 XLID associated with mutations in AP1S2 (MIM 300629) was first described in 2006 in three families with mild to profound XLID, including two families previously reported with nonspecific XLID or syndromic XLID with marked hypotonia in infancy, severe intellectual disability and later 'difficult' behavior. [8][9][10] The phenotype was expanded in a report of two families including the original Scottish family with Fried syndrome (MIM 300630) with highly variable XLID as well as hydrocephalus and basal ganglia calcifications. [11][12][13] Elevated CSF protein levels were also added to the clinical description, 14 although only two patients were analyzed for that specific biochemical characteristic.…”

“…MRX73 localization overlaps with those corresponding to MRX13, MRX19, MRX21, MRX32, MRX43, MRX54 and MRX59, all of them spanning a much or less broader region [Kerr et al, 1992; Donnelly et al, 1994; Kozak et al, 1993; Carpenter et al, 1999; Hamel et al, 1999; Hane et al, 1999; Jemaa et al, 1999]. It also overlaps partially with MRX2 [Hu et al, 1994].…”
