摘要: In an etiological study of unselected series mentally retarded children (IQ less than 70) born 1959-1970 in a northern Swedish county, 12 205 boys (5.9%) were found to have fragile site on the distal end C-chromosome (fra (X) (q27]. The incidence fra syndrome was calculated be 1:1500 this county. If is true for whole Sweden, 30-40 new cases should yearly Sweden. This must considered minimum figure, since certain proportion individuals with are not observed groups patients. Next trisomy 21, X most common specific cause mental retardation among
