Abstract

Fragile X [fraX] syndrome is a common hereditary disorder associated with a fragile site marker at Xq27.3 which clinically presents as a form of mental retardation (MR). Postmortem investigation of 3 fraX positive males with mild to moderate MR did not document any gross neuropathological changes. Golgi analysis of neocortical dendritic spine morphology extended our previous observations of immature, long, tortuous spines in one adult case of fraX (Rudelli, et al., Acta Neuropathologica 67:289-295, 1985) to 2 new cases. Evidence for similar dendritic spine abnormalities was found, although Golgi analysis was less than optimal because of incomplete dendritic stain impregnation. Neocortical intra-layer cell density was also investigated in all 3 cases. Cresyl violet stained neurons were counted in 10 randomly selected fields in neocortical layers II-VI of cingulate and temporal association areas (Brodmann's areas 23 and 38). Neuron counts in fraX and control neocortex showed no significant differences. Thus, abnormal dendritic spine morphology with preservation of neuronal density appears to characterize the neocortex in individuals with this common form of mental retardation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
