As the definitions ‘X-linked recessive’ or ‘X-linked dominant’ do not capture the wide spectrum of variable expression in heterozygotes in X-chromosomal conditions, Dobyns proposed, in a recent review, using only the term ‘X-linked’ trait [11]. Brouns et al. described the co-occurrence of Turner syndrome and Fabry disease in a severely affected female patient with two affected male siblings [12]. Pro259Arg mutation in apparently homozygous state. The patient also had a low frequency mosaic in peripheral blood with a cell line in which a deletion of the short arm of the second X chromosome (46,X,del(X)(p11)) was seen.
The description of any sequence change always starts with a lower-case letter indicating the type of sequence referred to; that is ‘g’ for genomic DNA, ‘c’ for coding DNA, and ‘p’ for protein. For DNA, the four capital letters A, C, G, and T, corresponding to the four nucleotides, are used, whereas to describe a change at the protein level, the three-letter amino acid code is preferred. g. Cys100Thr): a missense mutation, cysteine is replaced by threonine). Positions of amino acids and nucleotides (coding DNA [cDNA]) are numbered starting, respectively, with the translation initiation codon and the nucleotide A of the ATG initiation triplet as number 1.
