Abstract excerpt

X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) is a very heterogeneous condition, subdivided in two categories mainly based on clinical features: syndromic XLMR (MRXS) and non-syndromic XLMR (MRX). Although it was thought that 20-25% of mental retardation (MR) in males was caused by monogenetic X-linked factors, recent estimations are lower: in the range of 10-12%. The number of identified genes involved in XLMR has been...
