520 |a This fact sheet uses a question-and-answer format to summarize what is known about the genetic causes of mental retardation. Questions and answers address the following topics: what genetics is; how a person's genes can cause mental retardation; how often mental retardation is inherited (up to 60 percent of severe mental retardation has genetic causes); causes of genetic disorders (chromosomal disorders, single-gene disorders, and multifactorial disorders); how genetic disorders are inherited (dominant inheritance, recessive inheritance, and X-linked or sex-linked inheritance); and the possibilities of using gene therapy to treat genetic disorders causing mental retardation. (Contains 10 references.) (DB)
