Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common cause of inherited intellectual disabilities and autism. The reported prevalence of the full mutation (FM) gene FMR1 in the general population is 0.2-0.4 per 1000 males and 0.125-0.4 per 1000 females. Population screening for FMR1 expanded alleles has been performed in newborns and in an adult population. However, it has never been carried out in an entire...
