XR...women can show some symptoms, due to the expansion of the trinucleotide repeats (anticipation), but it is not XD or AD, as some have argued.

  #3

is considered to be an X-linked disorder with number of unusual features. BRS

  #4

X linked recessive .It is also known as (Martin Bell Syndrome).Specific region involved is Xq27.

I hope that will help..

  #5

My confusion was whether it is recessive or dominant coz kaplan says its X linked dominant and lippincot says its recessive.
I think idiopathic has cleared my doubts.
thanx!
