Xlinked mental retardation (XLMR) represents around 5% of all MR, with a prevalence of 1 in 600 males. 1 2 Fifteen to twenty percent of the total XLMR is the result of the fragile X syndrome. 3 Non-fragile X mental retardation was subdivided into syndromal and non-syndromal conditions by Neri et al4 in 1991. The syndromal XLMR entities (MRXS) are those in which there is a specific pattern of physical, neurological, or metabolic abnormalities associated with the presence of mental retardation. 5 Non-syndromic XLMR (MRX) are conditions in which a gene mutation causes mental retardation in the absence of other distinctive dysmorphic, metabolic, or neurological features. 6 At present, XLMR conditions consist of 136 MRXS7 and 75 MRX8 entities. To date, 35 genes have been cloned. However, so far only nine nonsyndromic XLMR genes have been identified: TM4SF2, FMR2, OPHN1 (MRX60), GDI1 (MRX41, MRX48), PAK3 (MRX30,
