 A research agenda for Mexican-American adolescent mental health. - Adolescence - HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
Mental health professionals who are trained to work with adolescents are fewer in number than those who are trained to work with adults (Dougherty et al., 1987), and even fewer are trained to work specifically with Mexican-American adolescents.
Mental health is presented here as a discrete topic, but an implicit assumption is that for Mexican-American adolescents, the factors affecting their mental health are highly interconnected (Schorr, 1988; Scales, 1990).
Because Mexican-American youth, their culture, and language are linked to peoples, cultures, and language of a major portion of the world, the incorporation of knowledge about this group into existing theoretical frameworks of mental health and service delivery can enhance and increase the utility and relevance of the field as a whole.

Mental retardation and epilepsy are common, often debilitating conditions of the human brain.
X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) is an inherited condition in which the failure to develop cognitive abilities is due to mutations in one gene on the X chromosome.

No correlation between the percent of X inactivation vs. severity of the disorder (but, as we only have the abstract, we don’t know if there was a big difference between the patients in their level of X inactivation, so treat with caution).
Syndromic X-linked mental retardation, such as X-linked alpha-thalassemia mental retardation syndrome and Rett syndrome, is reportedly associated with abnormal imprinting.
Mental retardation (MR) is a symptom in a large group of clinical conditions and affects around 3% of the population.

The purpose of this study was to determine the presence or absence of DPP in the dentition of a patient affected with DGI type II using a sensitive and specific immunodetection method with a polyclonal antibody against mouse DPP.
Three different types of steel bands (Jasch; Remanit; ID-band) were exposed to temperature levels of 1100, 1200 and 1300 [degree] C. Of a total of 58 patients 64% were edentulous and only 17 of the patients could be identified by means of the denture markings.
This study demonstrates that there are at least two different loci on the X chromosome causing amelogenesis imperfecta, one on the distal short arm (AIH1) due to mutations in the AMELX gene and one on the long arm (AIH3) as a result of alterations in a gene in the Xq22-q28 region.

Defects in ATRX are the cause of X-linked alpha- thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome (ATR-X) [MIM:301040].
Defects in ATRX are the cause of Carpenter-Waziri syndrome (CWS), an X-linked recessive condition characterized by moderate mental retardation, short stature, brachydactyly with excessive skin creases, and widening of the knuckles.

Further mutations were associated with nonspecific X-linked mental retardation, but also sporadic cases were described with a wide spectrum of mental retardation varying from a severe form with an Angelman syndrome (105830) phenotype to moderately mentally retarded males.
The frequency of MECP2 mutations in the Dutch mentally retarded males was therefore 0.2%, (1 of 475) and the study revealed the crucial importance of segregation analysis for low frequency mutations, in order to distinguish them from rare polymorphisms.
The main features present in the affected males were severe to profound mental retardation with onset at birth, axial and facial hypotonia, progressive spasticity predominantly at the lower limbs, seizures, and recurrent infections leading to early death in 4 of the affected members of 1 family.
