Very early premature ovarian failure in two sisters compound heterozygous for the FMR1 premutation
Expansion of the CGG trinucleotide repeat in the 5' untranslated region of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene within the premutation range is one of the known genetic factors associated with premature ovarian failure and earlier age at ...

FMR1 premutation is an uncommon explanation for premature ovarian failure in Han Chinese.
BackgroundIn premature ovarian failure (POF), cessation of menstruation occurs before the expected age of menopause. Approximately 1% of women are affected.

Fibroblast phenotype in male carriers of FMR1 premutation alleles
Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder among carriers of premutation expansions (55-200 CGG repeats) of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene.

Reduced Eye Contact and Anxiety in Women with the FMR1 Premutation [PDF]
Background. Mothers of children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) have the FMR1 premutation, which affects approximately 1 in 151 women (Seltzer et al., 2012).

Fragile X and autism: Intertwined at the molecular level leading to targeted treatments
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by an expanded CGG repeat (> 200 repeats) in the 5' untranslated portion of the fragile mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1), leading to deficiency or absence of the FMR1 protein (FMRP).

Symptoms of Tremor In Women With the FMR1 Premutation
Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation on the X chromosome and is known to be one of the leading causes of autism. Our research dealt with carriers of the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) premutation, or, more specifically ...

Differential increases of specific FMR1 mRNA isoforms in premutation carriers [PDF]
BackgroundOver 40% of male and ∼16% of female carriers of a premutation FMR1 allele (55-200 CGG repeats) will develop fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, an adult onset neurodegenerative disorder, while about 20% of female carriers will develop ...
