Abstract excerpt
We examined premutation-female transmissions and premutation-male transmissions of the FMR1 CGG repeat to carrier offspring, to identify factors associated with instability of the repeat. First we investigated associations between parental and offspring repeat size. Premutation-female repeat size was positively correlated with the risk of having full-mutation offspring, confirming previous reports. Similarly,...
