ABSTRACT

Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited form of mental retardation. We investigated the prevalence of the Fragile X syndrome in the population with mental retardation of unknown etiology in Andalusia, South Spain. We analyzed 322 unrelated patients (280 males and 42 females), and found a fragile X syndrome frequency of 6.5 percent. Among the non-fragile X chromosomes, the 29 CGG repeat was the most common allele. At the linked microsatellite DXS548 locus, we found a new allele which we called "allele 10" (17 CA). Similar to other south European populations, allele 2 (25 CA) at the DXS548 locus and the fragile X allele were in linkage disequilibrium supporting the idea of a common founder chromosome predisposing to the CGG expansion

ABSTRACT

Se hace una revision bibliografica sobre el incesto, tema que ha preocupado tanto al hombre antiguo como al moderno, ya que se extiende a traves de todas las civilizaciones. Se seleccionaron para estudio los casos que ingresaron en el servicio de hospitalizacion total en la Clinica del Adolescente en el periodo comprendido entre los anos 1979 y 1989. Se destacan en el informa de casos las caracteristicas psicologicas de los pacientes y los factores que contribuyen a las relaciones incestuosas. La frecuencia del incesto es probablemente mucho mayor de lo que rebelan las estadisticas. La prevencion y tratamiento son dificiles y complicados
