Abstract excerpt
A model of the population genetics of fragile X that incorporates an arbitrarily large number of alleles based on CGG repeat number is presented. The probability of transition from a premutation to a full mutation upon maternal transmission depends on maternal allele size, as suggested by molecular data. Transitions among various sizes of premutation alleles upon both maternal and paternal transmission are also...
