We describe a family in which non-syndromic mental retardation (MR) and an apparently balanced reciprocal translocation, t(1;17)(p36. 3;p11.2) segregates in eight individuals over three generations. Four children showed psychomotor developmental delay, reduced muscle tone, poor coordination, and learning difficulties. The affected adults had a varying range of behavioral problems and difficulties in social adjustment but no abnormal neurological signs. Most of them were functioning at the borderline learning difficulty level in intellectual abilities with additional specific difficulties in reading in two individuals. The Smith-Magenis and 1p36.3 deletion syndromes were excluded. We propose that this reciprocal translocation has disrupted an autosomal gene with an important function in cognitive development, and this family represents a unique resource for the molecular genetic study on non-syndromic MR.

D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.
