Monitoring for Epigenetic Modifications at the FMR1 Locus
2019The vast majority of fragile X affected patients do not transcribe FMR1 due to a CGG repeat expansion in the 5'-untranslated region of the FMR1 gene. When the CGGs considerably expand, it elicits abnormal DNA methylation and histone modifications, which are responsible for FMR1 transcriptional silencing.

Genetics and mathematics: FMR1 premutation female carriers
Neuropsychologia, 2012Neuropsychological investigations of FMR1 premutation carriers without FXTAS present one domain resulting in contradictory findings, namely that of mathematical skills. One reason for this might be that standard clinical batteries used so far may be inadequate to uncover precise deficits within specific mathematical skills.

Premature Ovarian Failure and the FMR1 Gene
Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2000FMR1 is an X-linked gene that codes for an RNA binding protein. Expansion of a triplet repeat within exon 1 of the gene causes the fragile X syndrome, which is characterized by mental retardation and various physical anomalies. The triplet repeat in FMR1 can expand to varying degrees.

FMR1 and the Fragile X Syndrome
2008Abstract Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an X-linked dominant disorder with reduced penetrance whose primary manifestation is moderate-to- severe mental retardation. It is most often caused by the transcriptional silencing of the FMR1 gene due to an expansion of a CGG-repeat found in the 5’ untranslated region (UTR). This allelic class, with
