Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by an CGG repeat expansion (FM, > 200 CGG) in the fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene. Female carriers of a premutation (PM; 55-200 CGG) can transmit the PM allele, which, depending on the CGG allele size, can expand to an allele in the FM range in the offspring. METHODS: Carrier screening for FMR1 PM is not available in...
