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.
