Abstract excerpt
The fragile X syndrome is the result of amplification of a CGG trinucleotide repeat in the FMR1 gene and anticipation in this disease is caused by an intergenerational expansion of this repeat. Although regression of a CGG repeat in the premutation range is not uncommon, regression from a full premutation (> 200 repeats) or premutation range (50-200 repeats) to a repeat of normal size (< 50 repeats) has not yet...
