Inheritance of fragile X syndrome: an hypothesis.

American journal of medical genetics - 1 Jan 2000

Friedman J M, Howard-Peebles P N

Abstract excerpt

The fragile X (fra(X), or Martin Bell-MB) syndrome is considered an X-linked recessive trait. However, clinically normal male transmitters of the condition have been observed occasionally. The occurrence of "carrier" males and the observation of other unusual genetic characteristics in the MBS suggest that this condition is not a standard X-linked recessive trait. We propose that the MBS is due to a transposable...
