Abstract excerpt
It is recognized that FMR1 premutation expansions are associated with premature ovarian failure (POF), but their role in diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is not clearly established. Moreover, the impact of smaller repeats at the boundary of premutation and normal is less clear. Therefore, we have compared the frequency of these intermediate (45-54 repeats) and premutation (>55) sized FMR1 CGG repeats among a...
