Objective:
To explore the clinical and genetic features of a Chinese boy featuring X-linked mental retardation.
Methods:
Clinical features of the patient were analyzed. The DNA of the patient and his parents was extracted and sequenced by next generation sequencing. The results were validated and analyzed with software.
Results:
The child displayed X-linked mental retardation. Sequencing showed the patient has carried a c.455T>C (p.L152P) mutation of the GRIA3 gene inherited from his mother.
Conclusion:
The c.455T>C (p.L152P) mutation of the GRIA3 gene probably underlies the X-linked mental retardation in this child.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...
