Somatic cell hybrids were constructed from 3 patients carrying X chromosome abnormalities with breakpoints in distal Xq: 1) 94-3, from a patient with 46,XX,t(X;15)(q25 or q26;q25), 2) 8121-A1, from a patient with 46,X,del(X)(q26), and 3) 2384-A2, from a patient with 46,X,del(X)(q27). The breakpoint of patient 94 is proximal to HPRT in q26, a significant distance from the fragile X locus. The breakpoint of patient 8121 is distal to F9, but proximal to DXS98, and is thus proximal to the fragile site region. The breakpoint of 2384 is distal to DXS98 but proximal to DXS52, placing it within the region of the fragile site. Use of these physical mapping reference points will aid in the rapid localization of new DNA markers to distal Xq and the fragile X region.

D002836 Hemophilia B A deficiency of blood coagulation factor IX inherited as an X-linked disorder. (Also known as Christmas Disease, after the first patient studied in detail, not the holy day.) Historical and clinical features resemble those in classic hemophilia (HEMOPHILIA A), but patients present with fewer symptoms. Severity of bleeding is usually similar in members of a single family. Many patients are asymptomatic until the hemostatic system is stressed by surgery or trauma. Treatment is similar to that for hemophilia A.

D005260 Female Females
D005600 Fragile X Syndrome A condition characterized genotypically by mutation of the distal end of the long arm of the X chromosome (at gene loci FRAXA or FRAXE) and phenotypically by cognitive impairment, hyperactivity, SEIZURES, language delay, and enlargement of the ears, head, and testes. INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY occurs in nearly all males and roughly 50% of females with the full mutation of FRAXA.
