Abstract:Two genes responsible for X-linked mental retardation have been localised by linkage analysis. MRX30 maps to a 28 cM region flanked by the loci DXS990 (Xq21.3) and DXS424 (Xq24). A significant multipoint lod score of 2.78 was detected between the loci DXS1120 and DXS456. MRX31 maps to a 12 cM region that spans the centromere from DXS1126 (Xp11.23) to DXS1124 (Xq13.3). Significant two-point lod scores, at a recombination fraction of zero, were obtained with the loci DXS991 (Zmax = 2.06), AR (Zmax = 3.44), PGK1P1 (Zmax = 2.06) and DXS453 (Zmax = 3.31). The MRX30 localisation overlaps that of MRX8, 13, 20 and 26 and defines the position of a new MRX gene on the basis of a set of non-overlapping regional localisations. The MRX31 localisation overlaps the localisations of many of the pericentromeric MRX loci (MRX, 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20, 22 and 26). There are now at least 8 distinct loci associated with non-specific mental retardation on the X chromosome defined, in order from pter to qter, by localisation for MRX24, MRX2, MRX10, MRX1, MRX30, MRX27, FRAXE and MRX3. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
