摘要: The fragile X syndrome represents the most common inherited cause of mental retardation worldwide. It is caused by a stretch CGG repeats within gene, which increases in length as it transmitted from generation to generation. Once repeat exceeds threshold length, no protein produced resulting phenotype. Ten years after discovery much has been learned about function protein. Knowledge collected mutation mechanism, although still not all players that allow destabilization are known.
