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 (θ = 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. Am. J. Med.

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.

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

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

Nonsyndromic X-linked mental retardation (MRX) is a highly heterogeneous condition in which mental retardation appears to be the only consistent manifestation. According to the most recent data, 77 MRX families with a lod score of >2 have been mapped and eight genes have been cloned. We hereby report on a linkage analysis performed on a Greek family with apparently nonsyndromic MRX. The affected males have moderate to severe mental retardation, severe speech problems, and aggressive behavior. Two-point linkage analysis with 26 polymorphic markers spanning the entire X chromosome was carried out. We could assign the causative gene to a 27 Mb interval in Xq12-Xq21.33. The maximum LOD score was found for markers DXS1225, DXS8114, and DXS990 at 2.36, 2.06, 2.06, respectively at theta = 0.00. Recombination was observed for DXS983 at the proximal side and DXS6799 at the distal side. Nineteen other MRX families have been described with a partial overlapping disease gene interval in proximal Xq. No mutations were found in the MRX77 family for three known or candidate MRX genes, from this region OPHN1, RSK4, and ATR-X. These data indicate that the Xq12-Xq21.33 interval contains at least one additional MRX gene. 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

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

MRX genes of 2 families with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) were localized by linkage analysis. In family A, the gene was mapped to Xp22.31–p22.32, with significant LOD scores to various Xp22 markers within a distance of 6 Mb between DXS1223 and DXS1224. The MRX gene of this family was designated MRX37. In a mentally retarded female who is a carrier of the MRX37 gene, a random pattern of X inactivation was demonstrated. In family B, a positive LOD score, although not significant (< + 2), was found with the marker DXS1202 at Xp22.11–p22.2. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

A gene responsible for X-linked mental retardation with macrocephaly and seizures (MRX38) in a family with five affected males in three generations was localized to Xp21.1–-p22.13 by linkage analysis. Recombination events placed the gene between DXS1226 distally and DXS1238 proximally, defining an interval of approximately 14 cM. A peak lod score of 2.71 was found with several loci in Xp21.1 (DXS992, DXS1236, DXS997, and DXS1036) at a recombination fraction of zero. The map intervals of 5 X-linked mental retardation loci, MRX2 (Xp22.1–p22.2), MRX19 (Xp22), MRX21 (Xp21.1–p22.3), MRX29 (Xp21.2–p22.1), and MRX32 (Xp21.2–p22.1), and two syndromal mental retardation loci, Partington syndrome (PRTS; Xp22) and Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS; Xp22.13–p22.2), overlap this region. As none of these display the same phenotype seen in the family reported here, this X-linked mental retardation locus may represent a new entity. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Isolated mental retardation is clinically and genetically heterogenous and may be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked manner. We report here a linkage analysis in a large family including 15 members, 6 of whom presenting X-linked non-syndromic mental retardation (MRX). Two-point linkage analysis using 23 polymorphic markers covering the entire X chromosome demonstrated significant linkage between the causative gene and DXS8055 with a maximum LOD score of 2.98 at theta = 0.00. Haplotype analysis indicated location for the disease gene in a 23.1 cM interval between DXS1106 and DXS8067. This MRX localization overlaps with 7 XLMR loci (MRX23, MRX27, MRX30, MRX35, MRX47, MRX53, and MRX63). This interval contains two genes associated with non-syndromic mental retardation (NSMR), namely the PAK3 gene, encoding a p21-activated kinase (MRX30 and MRX47) and the FACL4 gene encoding a fatty acyl-CoA ligase (MRX63). As skewed X-inactivation, an apparently constant feature in FACL4 carrier females was not observed in an obligate carrier belonging to the MRX family presented here, the PAK3 gene should be considered as the strongest candidate for this MRX locus. 相似文献

An analysis of the linkage of a non-syndromal form of X-linked mental retardation (MRX1) with a number of markers on the X chromosome was performed in a large pedigree. The affected males had moderate mental retardation; in all other clinical respects and cytogenetically they were normal. No recombinants were observed between the MRX1 gene and the marker DXS14 (p58.1) located at Xp11-cen (Z (max.) = 2.12 at theta = 0.00). Recombination was observed between the MRX1 gene and the markers DXS7 and DXYS1 which flank DXS14. This form of XLMR maps to the centromeric portion of the X-chromosome. 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

Linkage analysis was performed in a family with non-specific X-linked mental retardation (MRX 15). Hypotonia in infancy was the most remarkable physical manifestation. The severity of mental deficiency was variable among the patients, but all of them had poor or absent speech. Significant lod scores at a recombination fraction of zero were detected with the marker loci DXS1126, DXS255, and DXS573 (Zmax = 2.01) and recombination was observed with the two flanking loci DXS164 (Xp21.1) and DXS988 (Xp11.22), identifying a 17 cM interval. This result suggests a new gene localization in the proximal Xp region. In numerous families with non-specific X-linked mental retardation (MRX), the corresponding gene has been localized to the paracentromeric region in which a low recombination rate impairs the precision of mapping. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Clinical and molecular studies are reported on a family (MRX73) of five males with non-specific X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). A total of 33 microsatellite and RFLP markers was typed. The gene for this XLMR condition was been linked to DXS1195, with a lod score of 2.36 at theta = 0. The haplotype and multipoint linkage analyses suggest localization of the MRX73 locus to an interval of 2 cM defined by markers DXS8019 and DXS365, in Xp22.2. This interval contains the gene of Coffin-Lowry syndrome (RSK2), where a missense mutation has been associated with a form of non-specific mental retardation. Therefore, a search for RSK2 mutations was performed in the MRX73 family, but no causal mutation was found. We hypothesize that another unidentified XLMR gene is located near RSK2. 相似文献

Nonspecific X-linked mental retardation (MRX) is a heterogeneous condition in which mental retardation (MR) appears to be the only consistent manifestation. A large genetic interval of assignment obtained on individual families by linkage analysis, genetic, heterogeneity, and phenotypic variability usually are major obstacles to fine-map and identify the related disease genes. Here we report on a large Tunisian family (MRX54) with an MRX condition. X-linked recessive inheritance is strongly suggested by the segregation of MR through seven unaffected carrier females to 14 affected males in two generations. Two-point linkage analysis demonstrated significant linkage between the disorder and several markers in Xp21.3-22.1 (maximum LOD score Zmax = 3.56, recombination fraction 0 = 0 at DXS1202), which was confirmed by multipoint linkage analyses. Recombinant events observed with the flanking markers DXS989 and DXS1218 delineate a refined locus of approximately 2.7 cM in accordance with the physical distance between these two markers. The small interval of assignment observed in this family overlaps not only with nine large MRX loci previously reported in Xp21.3-22.1 but also with two inherited microdeletions in Xp21.3-22.1 involved in nonspecific MR. Although the involvement of several genes located in the Xp21.3-22.1 region cannot be ruled out, data reported in this study could be used as a starting point for the search of such gene(s). 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

More than 100 X-linked mental retardation syndromes have been described. We
report the localization of the disease gene, MRX23, in one family to
Xq23-24. Affected family members present with non- specific X-linked mental
retardation with verbal disability (BDOAS 10, 1-100). MRX23 is tightly
linked to the markers DXS1220 (Z = 3.76 at theta = 0.1) and DXS424 (Z = 3.9
at theta = 0.06). Multipoint linkage analysis, taking five loci
(DXS1072-0.07-DXS1220-0.014-MRX23-0.01-DXS 424-0.08-DXS1001) at a time,
gives a maximum LOD score of 6.7 between these two markers. The next most
likely location, between DXS424 and DXS1001 is 120-fold less likely.
Haplotype analysis also indicates the most likely location for the disease
gene is between DXS1220 and DXS424.

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

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
