Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The clinical phenotypes of females with fragile X full mutations vary drastically. Comparisons of discordant monozygotic twins provide opportunities to ascertain crucial factors that influence disease phenotype penetrance. OBJECTIVE: To identify crucial factors influencing the phenotypic expression of fragile X syndrome (FXS). METHODS AND RESULTS: We describe a pair of discordant monozygotic female...
