Tissue-specific expression of a FMR1/β-galactosidase fusion gene in transgenic mice [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome is one of the most common genetic causes of mental retardation, yet the mechanisms controlling expression of the fragile X mental retardation gene FMR1 are poorly understood.

Compound heterozygosity at the FMR1 gene
Individuals affected with Fragile X syndrome are usually characterized at the DNA level by the presence of at least 200 CGG repeats in the 5' untranslated region of the FMR1 gene; this number of repeats is defined as a full mutation.

Fragile-X syndrome and fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome: two faces of FMR1.
Recent advances in our understanding of the clinical and molecular features of the fragile-X mental-retardation 1 gene, FMR1, highlight the importance of single-gene disorders.

A case of fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome with superior cerebellar peduncle lesions
Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting carriers of a premutation in the FMR1 gene involving expansion of CGG repeats. We present the case of a 66-year-old man with fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome

A nonsense mutation in FMR1 causing fragile X syndrome
Fragile X syndrome is a common cause of inherited intellectual disability. It is caused by lack of the FMR1 gene product FMRP. The most frequent cause is the expansion of a CGG repeat located in the 5'UTR of FMR1.
