Abstract excerpt
The molecular causes of ATR-X syndrome reside in mutations involving the XNP/ATR-X gene, which maps in the Xq13.3 region. Mutational analysis of this gene in two unrelated affected patients allowed us to identify two new molecular defects in two distinct regions of the gene. The first is a A-->G splice mutation in the acceptor site of the intron 11 that removes most of the 3' part of the protein, including the...
