• Why Are Autism Spectrum Conditions More Prevalent in Males? (2011, background): “In addition, more than 10% of people with learning difficulties show an X-linked pattern of inheritance [55], involving mutations in over 90 different X-linked genes [56,57].”
• The X-linked mental retardation gene SMCX/JARID1C defines a family of histone H3 lysine 4 demethylases. (2007, positive): “Abnormalities of neuronal morphology, and in particular of dendritic development, have been reported in brains of mental retardation, including X-linked mental retardation (Fiala et al., 2002; Ropers and Hamel, 2005).”
• Genetic foundations of human intelligence (2009, background): “Of the approximately 300 identified genes associated with mental retardation, about 20% are located on the X chromosome (Ropers and Hamel 2005).”
