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 have been shown to...
