Dissociation between mental retardation and fragile site expression in a family with fragile X-linked mental retardation. 1988
Centre de Génétique Médicale et INSERM U. 242, Hôpital d'Enfants de la Timone, Marseille, France.
We report an extended family in which two brothers with a fragile X chromosome are mentally retarded while a third brother with the fragile site is both phenotypically and mentally normal. The study of six probes detecting restriction fragment length polymorphisms on either sides of the fragile site Xq27 confirmed that the fragile X regions inherited by these three brothers were identical from DXS102 to the telomere. These data highlight the heterogeneity of the fragile X syndrome, which is discussed in the framework of the different hypotheses previously proposed.
