Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis in the majority of fragile X patients results from expansion of the CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene causing its transcriptional silencing and deficiency of its encoded protein FMRP. In this communication, we report on a male patient who lacks the characteristic physical features of fragile X and carries a fully methylated mutation, a premutation, a non-methylated full mutation, and a...
