The second black male with X-linked mental retardation and a fragile site at Xq27 was ascertained by screening for macroorchidism. GTG banding revealed the presence of an inv(9)(p13q21). This inversion is thought to be a chance occurrence and is probably of no clinical significance. More cases having a marker Xq and a chromosome abnormality are expected; some of these abnormalities will be clinically significant.
通过筛查巨睾症确诊了第二例患有X连锁智力障碍且Xq27存在脆性位点的黑人男性。GTG显带显示存在inv(9)(p13q21)。这种倒位被认为是偶然发生的,可能无临床意义。预计会有更多具有标记Xq和染色体异常的病例;其中一些异常将具有临床意义。
