| Abstract | We describe a girl with mild facial anomalies, mild mental retardation, and atypical autism with a remarkable behavioral phenotype of persistent anger, aggression, and dysphoria. The occurrence of late-onset tremor and premature ovarian failure in the maternal branch of the family pointed to a possible defect in the FMR1 gene. Indeed, the patient carried a full FMR1 mutation. Unexpectedly, both alleles of the gene were almost completely methylated. Cytogenetic examination of the patient revealed in addition a large de novo deletion in band Xp22 on one of her X chromosomes. The deletion was fine mapped using oligonucleotide array CGH, and its breakpoints were localized using sequencing. The size of the deletion was about 17.4 Mb, and it contained more than 90 protein-coding genes. Microsatellite analysis indicated paternal origin of the aberrant chromosome. The large rearrangement was the most probable cause of the X-inactivation skewing, thus explaining the methylation of not only the expanded (maternal) but also the normal (paternal) FMR1 alleles. This pattern of skewed X-inactivation was confirmed using the analysis of methylation at the AR locus. The relatively mild phenotype of the patient resulted most likely from unmasking of the FMR1 defect. Although the deleted region contained many important genes, the phenotypic contribution of the rearranged X chromosome was probably limited by its almost complete inactivation. However, reduced dose of several genes escaping X-inactivation might also play a role in the phenotype of the patient. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
