Loss-of-Function CNKSR2 Mutation Is a Likely Cause of Non-Syndromic X-Linked Intellectual Disability.
In a non-dysmorphic 5-year-old boy with developmental delay, well-controlled epilepsy, and microcephaly, a 234-kb deletion of Xp22.12 was detected by copy number analysis. The maternally inherited deletion removed the initial 15 of the 21 exons of the connector enhancer of KSR-2 gene called CNKSR2 or CNK2. Our finding suggests that loss of CNKSR2 is a novel cause of non-syndromic X-linked menta...
متن کاملX-linked mental retardation.
A survey of the mentally retarded children with an IQ between 30 and 55 born in a 10-year period (1955-64) and now of school age was carried out in New South Wales. The number of propositi who had a similarly affected sib of the same sex was ascertained; 58 boys had a similarly affected brother(s) and 22 girls had a similarly affected sister(s). It is suggested that the excess of affected broth...
متن کاملOligophrenin 1 (OPHN1) gene mutation causes syndromic X-linked mental retardation with epilepsy, rostral ventricular enlargement and cerebellar hypoplasia.
We identified an oligophrenin 1 (OPHN1) gene mutation in a family with five brothers affected by a recognizable pattern of clinical and neuroradiological hallmarks. The distinctive phenotype comprised moderate to severe mental retardation, myoclonic-astatic epilepsy, ataxia, strabismus and hypogenitalism. Neuroimaging displayed fronto-temporal atrophy with rostral enlargement of the lateral ven...
متن کاملMECP2 gene mutations in non-syndromic X-linked mental retardation: phenotype-genotype correlation.
Non-syndromic X-linked mental retardation (MRX) is a frequent cause of inherited mental retardation. It is a heterogeneous condition in which the first 12 genes discovered to date explain no more than 15% of the MRX situations ascertained by recurrence in multiplex families. In Rett syndrome (RTT), an X-linked dominant condition mostly sporadic and usually lethal in males, most affected females...
متن کاملX-linked mental retardation and epigenetics
The search for the genetic defects in constitutional diseases has so far been restricted to direct methods for the identification of genetic mutations in the patients' genome. Traditional methods such as karyotyping, FISH, mutation screening, positional cloning and CGH, have been complemented with newer methods including array-CGH and PCR-based approaches (MLPA, qPCR). These methods have reveal...
