We report on a family in which non-syndromal mild to moderate mental retardation segregates as an X-linked trait (MRX41). Two point linkage analysis demonstrated linkage between the disorder and marker DXS3 in Xq21.33 with a lod score of 2.56 at {theta} = 0.0 and marker DXS1108 in Xq28 with a lod score of 3.82 at {theta} = 0.0. Multipoint linkage analysis showed that the odds for a location of the gene in Xq28 vs. Xq21.33 are 100:1. This is the fourth family with non-specific X-linked mental retardation with Xq28-qter as the most likely gene localization. 16 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
