X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) affects one in 600 males and is highly heterogeneous. We describe here a 29-year-old woman with severe nonsyndromic mental retardation and a balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes X and 15 [46,XX,t(X;15)(q13.3;cen)]. Methylation studies showed a 100% skewed X-inactivation in patient-derived lymphocytes indicating that the normal chromosome X is retained inactive. Physical mapping of the breakpoints localised the Xq13.3 breakpoint to within 3.9… CONTINUE READING
