A large family (MRX48) with a nonspecific X-linked mental retardation condition is described. An X-linked semidominant inheritance is suggested by the segregation in three generations of a moderate to severe mental retardation in seven males and by a milder intellectual impairment in two females, without any specific clinical, radiological, or biological feature. Two-point linkage analysis demonstrated significant linkage between the disorder and several markers in Xq28 (maximum LOD score [Zmax] = 2.71 at recombination fraction [theta] = 0); multipoint linkage analyses confirmed the significant linkage with a Zmax of 3.3 at theta = 0, at DXS1684. A recombination event observed with the flanking marker DXS8011 delineates a locus between this marker and the telomere. The approximate length of this locus is 8-9 cM, corresponding to 5.5-6 Mb. In an attempt to explain the variable intellectual impairment in females, we examined X-chromosome inactivation in all females of the family. Inactivation patterns in lymphocytes were random or moderately skewed, and no correlation between the phenotypic status and a specific inactivation pattern was observed. The interval of assignment noted in this family overlaps with five MRX loci previously reported in Xq28.

D008297 Male Males
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.

D004303 Dosage Compensation, Genetic Genetic mechanisms that allow GENES to be expressed at a similar level irrespective of their GENE DOSAGE. This term is usually used in discussing genes that lie on the SEX CHROMOSOMES. Because the sex chromosomes are only partially homologous, there is a different copy number, i.e., dosage, of these genes in males vs. females. In DROSOPHILA, dosage compensation is accomplished by hypertranscription of genes located on the X CHROMOSOME. In mammals, dosage compensation of X chromosome genes is accomplished by random X CHROMOSOME INACTIVATION of one of the two X chromosomes in the female.
