Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported the isolation of a gene from Xq13, coding for a putative regulator of transcription (XNP). It is a member of the helicase family, and has now been shown to be the gene involved in the X-linked alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation (ATR-X) syndrome. ATR-X mutations were only found in the 3'-part of the coding sequence, which includes the helicase domains. However, no ATR-X mutation has...
