Abstract excerpt
The OPHN1 gene encodes a Rho-GTPase activating protein (RhoGAP), and mutations in OPHN1 are responsible for non-specific X-linked mental retardation (NSMR). A SNP located in the 5'-untranslated region (UTRs) of OPHN1 (rs492933) was examined by PCR-RFLP to assess its contribution to cognitive ability in 234 unrelated healthy and MR children in the Qinba Mountain region in Shaanxi. The allelic frequencies of...
