Sažetak
Our molecular and clinical data show that FRAXE mental retardation is phenotypically very nonspecific and mild and that every woman with any mentally retarded and/or learning disabled family member should be investigated for the FRAXA and FRAXE loci of the fragile X syndrome. Since this was the first case of FRAXE mental retardation detected during a 5-year period of molecular diagnosis of FRAXA and FRAXE mental retardation in our country, we agree that the FRAXE form of mental handicap is very rare and is usually detected by chance.
