The molecular mechanisms that underlie fragile X-associated premature ovarian insufficiency: is it RNA or protein based?

Abstract excerpt

The FMR1 gene contains a polymorphic CGG trinucleotide sequence within its 5' untranslated region. More than 200 CGG repeats (termed a full mutation) underlie the severe neurodevelopmental condition fragile X syndrome, while repeat lengths that range between 55 and 200 (termed a premutation) result in the conditions fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome and fragile X-associated premature ovarian...
