X linked severe mental retardation, craniofacial dysmorphology, epilepsy, ophthalmoplegia, and cerebellar atrophy in a large South African kindred is localised to Xq24-q27.
To date over 150 X linked mental retardation (XLMR) conditions have been documented. We describe a five generation South African family with XLMR, comprising 16 affected males and 10 carrier females. The clinical features common to the 16 males included profound mental retardation (100%), mutism despite apparently normal hearing (100%), grand mal epilepsy (87.5%), and limited life expectancy (6...

متن کاملX-linked deafness in a South African kindred.
The X-linked deafness of Nance is present in a South African kindred. Recognition of the familial pattern of the disorder, together with the characteristic clinical and audiometric features, permits diagnostic precision, thereby facilitating accurate genetic counselling and rational management. Linkage studies indicated that the loci for the Xg blood group and the deafness gene are unlikely to ...
متن کاملFragile (X)(q27) sites in a pedigree with female carriers showing mild to severe mental retardation.
A pedigree showing the fragile site at Xq27 in a severely retarded female and in other less retarded carriers is described. Two of the four moderately retarded males with the fra(X)(q27) show macro-orchidism, and a variety of other features usually used to support the effects of the fra(X)(q27) are also inconsistent. A second fragile site at (10)(q23) is also present and in the two oldest femal...
