摘要: Premutation alleles (55-200 CGG repeats) of the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1) are known to contribute phenotype through genetic instability and transmission full mutation (>200 repeats). There is now mounting evidence that premutation themselves clinical involvement, including premature ovarian failure among female carriers a new tremor/ataxia syndrome older male carriers. Recent observations also provide direct dysregulation FMR1 in range, which may explain many observations.
