We report linkage data on a new large family with non-specific X linked mental retardation (MRX), using 24 polymorphic markers covering the entire X chromosome. We could assign the underlying disease gene, denoted MRX46, to the Xq25-q26 region. MRX46 is tightly linked to the markers DXS8072, HPRT, and DXS294 with a maximum lod score of 5.12 at theta=0. Recombination events were observed with DXS425 in Xq25 and DXS984 at the Xq26-Xq27 boundary, which localises MRX46 to a 20.9 cM (12 Mb) interval. Several X linked mental retardation syndromes have been mapped to the same region of the X chromosome. In addition, the localisation of two MRX genes, MRX27 and MRX35, partially overlaps with the linkage interval obtained for MRX46. Although an extension of the linkage analysis for MRX35 showed only a minimal overlap with MRX46, it cannot be excluded that the same gene is involved in several of these MRX disorders. On the other hand, given the considerable genetic heterogeneity in MRX, one should be extremely cautious in using interfamilial linkage data to narrow down the localisation of MRX genes. Therefore, unless the underlying gene(s) is characterised by the analysis of candidate genes, MRX46 can be considered a new independent MRX locus. 相似文献

We report on a family in which non-syndromal mild to moderate mental retardation segregates as an X-linked trait (MRX41). Two point linkage analysis demonstrated linkage between the disorder and marker DXS3 in Xq21.33 with a lod score of 2.56 at θ = 0.0 and marker DXS1108 in Xq28 with a lod score of 3.82 at θ = 0.0. Multipoint linkage analysis showed that the odds for a location of the gene in Xq28 vs Xq21.33 are 100:1. This is the fourth family with non-specific X-linked mental retardation with Xq28-qter as the most likely gene localization. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Clinical and molecular studies are reported on a Basque family (MRX82) with nonsyndromic X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) in five affected males. A total of 38 microsatellite markers were typed. The XLMR locus has been linked to DXS8067, DXS1001, DXS425, DXS7877, and DXS1183 with a maximum LOD score of 2.4. The haplotype studies and multipoint linkage analysis suggest a localization of the MRX82 locus to an interval of 7.6 Mb defined by markers DXS6805 and DXS7346, in Xq24 and Xq25, respectively. No gene contained in this interval has been so far associated with nonsyndromic mental retardation, except for GRIA3, disrupted by a balanced translocation in a female patient with bipolar affective disorder and mental retardation. However, the search for mutations of this gene did not showed a pathogenic mutation in the present family. Given that there are other eight MRX families overlapping this interval, none of them with known mutation, we conclude that at least one new gene responsible for nonsyndromic mental retardation is located in this region. 相似文献

Two families with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX) are presented. In the first family, MRX51, three male patients showed mild to borderline mental retardation. Multipoint linkage analysis yielded a maximal LOD score of 2.10 between markers DXS8012 and DXS1003, localizing the MRX51 gene at Xp11.3-p11.23. In the second family, XLMR7, three men showed moderate mental retardation (MR), and one possible female carrier had mild MR. Multipoint linkage analysis yielded an LOD score of 1.80 between markers DXS8063 and DXS1047, situating the disease gene at Xq23-q26.1. When the analysis was performed considering the affected female to be an expressing heterozygote carrier of the disease mutation, a maximal LOD score of 2.10 was found in the same region. 相似文献

We report linkage analysis in a new family with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation, using 27 polymorphic markers covering the entire X-chromosome. We could assign the underlying disease gene, denoted MRX65, to the pericentromeric region, with flanking markers DXS573 in Xp11.3 and DXS990 in Xq21.33. A maximum LOD score of 3.64 was found at markers ALAS2 (Xp11.22) and DXS453 (Xq12) at straight theta = 0. Twenty-five of the 58 reported MRX families are linked to a region that is partially overlapping with the region reported here. Extension of the pedigree showed a number of unaffected distant relatives with haplotypes corresponding to the disease locus. Apparently, a new mutation in a female is causative for the disease in the family reported here. Furthermore, we show the importance of combining clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular studies since one of the family members, expected to be affected by the same genetic defect, has a 48,XXXY karyotype. 相似文献

A family is described with five affected males segregating a new gene for non-specific X linked mental retardation (MRX). Linkage analysis localised the gene at Xq28-qter. The maximum lod score was 2.89 with DXS52 (St14) at theta = 0.0. A recombinant was observed with DXS304 (U6.2) defining the proximal limit to the localisation. No evidence for linkage was determined using markers at several points along the remainder of the X chromosome, including the regions known to contain MRX1 and MRX2. This delineates the third gene for non-specific X linked mental retardation, MRX3. 相似文献

Families with mentally retarded males found to be negative for FRAXA and FRAXE mutations are useful in understanding the genetic basis of X-linked mental retardation. According to the most recent data (updated to 1999), 69 MRX loci have been mapped and 6 genes cloned. Here we report on a linkage study performed on 20 subjects from a 4-generation Sardinian family segregating a non-specific X-linked recessive mental retardation (XLMR)(MRX72) associated with global delay of all psychomotor development. Five of 8 affected males have been tested for mental age, verbal and performance skills and behavioral anomalies; mental impairment ranged from mild to severe. Only minor anomalies were present in the affected subjects. Two-point linkage analysis based on 28 informative microsatellites spanning the whole X chromosome demonstrated linkage between the disorder and markers DXS1073 and F8c in Xq28 (maximum Lod score of 2. 71 at straight theta = 0.00). Multipoint linkage analysis confirmed the linkage with a Z(max) of 3.0 at straight theta = 0.00 at DXS1073 and F8c. Recombination in an affected male at DXS1073 and F8c allowed us to delimit centromerically and telomerically the region containing the putative candidate gene. The region, where MRX72 maps, overlaps that of another MRX families previously mapped to Xq28, two of which harbored mutations in GDI. Involvement of this gene was excluded in our family, suggesting another MRX might reside in Xq28. 相似文献

A genetic linkage study was performed on a large four-generation family with variable nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX16), speech abnormalities, and retardation of all milestones. Significant linkage was found in the Xq28 region with loci DXS52, DXS15, BGN, and DXS1108 with maximum LOD scores of 4.86, 4.01, 4.83, and 5.43, respectively, at theta = 0.00. Recombination was observed at the locus DXS1113, thus mapping the gene in an 8-Mb interval between this marker and the Xq telomere. Linkage intervals of three other MRX families overlap with this interval in Xq28 where the RABGDIA gene, mutated in the MRX41 and MRX48 families, is also located. In MRX3, MRX28, but also in MRX16, no alteration of RABGDIA has been found, thus suggesting the existence of at least two MRX genes in distal Xq28. 相似文献

X-linked nonspecific mental retardation (MRX) accounts for approximately 25% of mental retardation in males. A number of MRX loci have been mapped on the X chromosome, reflecting the complexity of gene action in central nervous system (CNS) specification and function. Eleven MRX genes have been identified, but many other causative loci remain to be refined to the single gene level. In 21 MRX families, the causative gene is located in the pericentromeric region; and we report here the identification by linkage analysis of a further such locus, MRX81. The new MRX locus was identified by two- and multi-point parametric analysis carried out on a large Italian family. Tight linkage of MRX81 to DNA markers ALAS2, DXS991, and DXS7132 was observed with a maximum LOD score of 3.43. Haplotype construction delineates an MRX81 critical region of 8 cM, the smallest MRX pericentromeric interval so far described, between DXS1039 and DXS1216, and placing it in Xp11.2-Xq12. So far, automated sequencing of two candidates in the region, the MRX gene oligophrenin (OPHN1) and the brain-specific ephrinB1 (EFNB1) gene, in DNA from affected males excluded their candidacy for MRX81, suggesting a novel disease gene. 相似文献

Two genes responsible for a nonspecific form of X-linked mental retardation (MRX28 and MRX33) were localized by linkage analysis with 40 highly polymorphic DNA markers situated along the entire the X chromosome. In family 1, the gene could be mapped within a 14-cM interval at Xq28, distal to the recombining marker DXS1113 (MRX28). The maximum LOD score was 2.75, with DXS52 at ϕ = .0. In family 2, the gene was localized within a 30-cM interval at Xp11.4-22.12 between the recombining markers DXS365 and MAOB, including the DMD gene (MRX33). Maximum LOD scores of 2.82 were obtained with markers DMD-STR49, DMD-DysII, CYBB, and DXS1068. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

An Austrian family with nonsyndromic X-linked mental retardation (MRX) is reported in which the obligatory carrier females are normal, and 5 affected males have mild to moderate mental retardation. Linkage analysis indicated an X pericentromeric localization, with flanking markers DXS989 and DXS1111 and a maximum multipoint LOD score of 2.09 (straight theta = 0) for the 7 cosegregating markers DXS1243, CybB, MAOB, DXS988, ALAS2, DXS991, and AR. MRX58 thus mapped within a 50-cM interval between Xp11.3 and Xq13.1 and overlapped with 23 other MRX families already described. This pericentromeric clustering of MRX families suggests allelism, with a minimum of 2 X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) genes in this region. 相似文献

Nonspecific X-linked mental retardation is a heterogeneous condition consisting of nonsyndromal mental retardation in males. It is caused by mutation in one of several genes on the X chromosome (MRX genes). Here we report on the localization of a presumptive MRX gene to chromosomal region Xq24-q26 in a German family with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX 75, HUGO Human Gene Nomenclature Committee). Two point linkage analysis with 23 informative markers gave a lod score of 2.53 at theta = 0 for markers DXS425, DXS1254, DXS1114, and HPRT. 相似文献

Two families with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) are presented. In the first family, MRX49, 5 male patients in 2 generations showed mild to moderate mental retardation. Two-point linkage analysis with 28 polymorphic markers, dispersed over the X-chromosome, yielded a maximal LOD score of 2.107 with markers DXS7107 and DXS8051 at θ = 0.0, localizing the MRX49 gene at Xp22.3-p22.2, between Xpter and marker DXS8022. Multipoint linkage analysis showed negative LOD values over all other regions of the chromosome. In the second family, MRX50, 4 males in 2 generations showed moderate mental retardation. Pairwise linkage analysis with 28 polymorphic markers yielded a LOD score of 2.056 with markers DXS8054, DXS1055, and DXS1204, all at θ = 0.0. Flanking markers were DXS8012 and DXS991, situating the MRX50 gene at Xp11.3-Xp11.21, in the pericentromeric part of the short arm of the X chromosome. Am. J. Med.

A family in which 6 males have X-linked mental retardation has been studied with polymorphic DNA probes. The males differ from unaffected males only in impaired intellect and in smaller head size. The gene that causes mental retardation in the family appears to be located in band Xq21 on the basis of linkage with 3 markers: DXS250, DXS345 and DXS3 (theta max = 0.00; Zmax = 1.6). A multipoint lod score of 2.36 was obtain with no recombination relative to DXS326 in Xq21. This family is considered to have nonspecific X-linked mental retardation and has been given the designation MRX8. 相似文献

By using several microsatellite markers scattered along the X chromosome, we studied a Chinese family with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX84) to search for a region including the MRX84 locus that was linked to the markers. Two-point linkage analysis demonstrated linkage between the disorder and several markers located at Xq22.2, with maximum LOD score Z(max) = 2.41 at recombination fraction theta = 0 for DXS1191 and DXS1230, respectively. Recombination events were observed with flanking markers DXS8080 and DXS456, located at Xp11.3 and Xq22.3, respectively, and a region of approximately 22.3 cM was defined. Accordingly, markers distal to Xp11.3 and Xq22.3 segregated independently of the disease. The localized region observed in this Chinese family overlaps with 29 other MRX loci previously reported in Xp11.3-q22.3. These results should contribute to the identification of the disease gene for the MRX84 disorder. 相似文献

Nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX) includes several distinct genetic entities in which mental retardation is not associated with additional distinguishing physical changes. We report linkage data in a Spanish family with MRX, using polymorphic DNA markers distributed over the X chromosome. Two-point linkage analysis demonstrated close linkage between the MRX locus and DXS85 in Xp22.3 with a peak lod score of 2.28 at a Ø = 0.00. Analysis of multiple informative meioses suggested a localization of the MRX locus (MRX24) between DXS278 and DXS207. Multipoint linkage analysis resulted in a maximum LOD score of 2.45 at 3 cM proximal to DXS85, and allowed us to reject a localization of the MRX24 gene in all other regions from Xp21–Xqter. These findings localize the MRX24 gene in the chromosomal region Xp22.2–p22.3. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We used several microsatellite markers scattered along the X chromosome to search for linkage relationships in a large Sardinian pedigree segregating for nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX). Markers DXS573 and AR, located at chromosomal subregions Xp11.4–p11.22 and Xq11.2–q12, respectively, were found to segregate in full concordance with the disease, leading to a LOD score of 4.21 at zero recombination value. Recombination with the disease was found with markers MAOB and DXS454 located at Xp11.4–p11.3 and Xq21.1–q22, respectively; accordingly, markers distal to Xp11.4 and Xq22 also segregated independently of the disease. These findings provide strong linkage evidence in favor of the localization of one MRX mutational site in the pericentromeric region of the human X chromosome, justifying the assignment of a new symbol (MRX26) to our pedigree. Finally, on the basis of the recombinational events observed in the Xq21–q22 region, we have been able to refine the assignment of marker DXS456 to Xq21.33–q22. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Non-specific mental retardation (MR) is a condition in which MR appears to be the only consistent manifestation. The X linked form (MRX) is genetically heterogeneous. We report clinical, cytogenetic, and linkage data on a family with X linked non-specific MR. Two point and multi-point linkage analysis with 18 polymorphic markers, covering the entire chromosome, showed close linkage to DXS1001 and DXS425 with a maximal lod score of 2.41 at 0% recombination. DXS178 and the gene for hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl-transferase (HPRT), located in Xq22 and Xq26 respectively, flank the mutation. All other chromosomal regions could be excluded with odds of at least 100:1. To our knowledge there is currently no other non-specific MR gene mapped to this region. Therefore, the gene causing MR in this family can be considered to be a new, independent MRX locus (MRX35). 相似文献
