Linkage data, using the polymorphic markers 52A (DXS51), F9, 4D-8 (DXS98), and St14 (DXS52), are presented from 14 fragile X pedigrees and from 7 normal pedigrees derived from the collection of the Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humaine. A multipoint linkage analysis indicates that the most probable order of these four loci in normal families is DXS51-F9-DXS98-DXS52. Recombination frequencies (theta) corresponding to maximum LOD scores (Z) were obtained by two-point linkage analysis for a number of linkage groups, including: DXS51-F9 (Z = 5.94, theta = 0.03), F9-DXS98 (Z = 0.51, theta = 0.26), F9-DXS52 (Z = 0.84, theta = 0.27), and DXS98-DXS52 (Z = 0.32, theta = 0.20). A multipoint linkage analysis of these loci, including the fragile X locus, was also performed for the fragile X population and the data support the relative order (DSX51, F9, DXS98)-FRAXA-DXS52. Recombination frequencies and maximum LOD scores, which again were derived from two-point linkage analyses, were obtained for the linkage groups DXS51-F9 (Z = 9.96, theta = 0) and F9-DXS52 (Z = 0.07, theta = 0.45) as well as for the groups DXS51-FRAXA (Z = 2.42, theta = 0.15), F9-FRAXA (Z = 1.30, theta = 0.18), DXS98-FRAXA (Z = 0.05, theta = 0.36), and DXS52-FRAXA (Z = 2.42, theta = 0.15). The linkage data was further tested for the presence of genetic heterogeneity both within and between the fragile X and normal families for the intervals DXS51-F9, F9-DXS52, F9-FRAXA, and DXS52-FRAXA using a modification of the A test. Except for the interval F9-FRAXA (P less than 0.10) there was no evidence of genetic heterogeneity for each of the various linkage groups examined. The heterogeneity detected for the interval F9-FRAXA, however, was most likely due to one family (Fx-28) that displayed very tight linkage between these two loci.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

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.
