Studies of the FMR1 mutation in multiple tissues are important to further our understanding of CGG repeat expansion in development and of the frequency and possible clinical significance of inter-tissue heterogeneity in fragile X syndrome. With some exceptions, most cases reported have shown strong similarity of the mutation size and methylation status between tissues. However, there have been only a few studies...
