Abstract

The karyotype and the concentration of serum protein were investigated in Korean unclassified mental retardees. The results were as follows. Fragile X chromosomes were identified in three patients, and the frequencies of fragile X chromosome were 4~15%. The concentration of serum protein was 5.73$\pm$0.89(g/dl), and the A/G ratio was 0.86$\pm$0.14 in fragile X syndrome patients. The concentration of serum protein was 6.83 $\pm$0.72(g/dl), and the A/G ratio was 0.87$\pm$0.17 unclassified mental retardees. The results revealed that the level of globulin concentration and A/G ratio in fragile X syndrome patients and unclassified mental retardees were lower than in normal group and Down's patients.

한국인 일반 정신박약자들의 핵형 및 혈청단백질을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 정신박약자 35명 중 3명에서 fragile X 염색체를 발견하였고 그 빈도는 4~l5%였다. Fragile X 증후군 환자들의 혈청단백질의 농도는 5.73$\pm$0.89(g/ dl) 이었고 albumin과 globulin의 비는 0.86$\pm$0.14 이었다. 일반 정신박약자들의 혈청단백질 농도는 6.83$\pm$0.72(g/dl) 이었고 이중 albumin과 globulin의 비는0.87$\pm$0.47 이었다. Fragile X증후군환자 및 일반정신박약자들의 혈청단백질 농도 및 albumin과 globulin의 비는 정상인 및 Down 증후군환자들 보다 낮았다.
