Fragile X Premutation Associated Conditions (FXPAC)
The European Fragile X Network (EFXN) proposes that Fragile X Premutation Associated Conditions (FXPAC) be adopted as a universal term covering any condition linked to the Fragile X premutation.

Ovarian histopathological and ubiquitin-immunophenotypic features in fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency: a study of five cases and selected controls. [PDF]
Sir: The fragile X premutation, an expansion of a CGG triplet repeat in the 5′-untranslated region of the FMR1 gene (55–200 repeats), is one of the most common aetiologies of primary ovarian insufficiency: fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI).1–3 Men who carry the premutation are at increased risk for a late-onset ...

Social and physical predictors of mental health impact in adult women who have an FMR1 premutation
Purpose: Clear understanding of mental health phenotypes and associated socioeconomic, physical health and well-being impacts in adult women with an FMR1 premutation (PM) is needed for counseling and primary healthcare.

Biallelic loss of function variants in STAG3 result in primary ovarian insufficiency [PDF]
Research Question. Does a genetic condition underlie the diagnosis of primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) in a 21 year old woman with primary amenorrhea. Design. A karyotype and genetic testing for Fragile X syndrome was undertaken.

Increased frequency of occult fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency in infertile women with evidence of impaired ovarian function [PDF]
The FMR1 premutation is associated with overt primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). However, its prevalence in women with occult POI (i.e. menstrual cycles, but impaired ovarian response) has not been examined. We hypothesized that both the FMR1 premutation and intermediate allele is more frequent in infertile women with occult POI than in controls, and

A design thinking approach to primary ovarian insufficiency
Most clinicians are not prepared to provide integrated personal care to address all the clinical needs of women with primary ovarian insufficiency. Design thinking is an engineering methodology used to develop and evaluate novel concepts for systems ...

Validation of methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction method and evaluation of FMR1 gene pre-mutations in premature ovarian insufficiency [PDF]
Background. Fragile X-associated premature ovarian insufficiency is clinically defined as a type of early ovarian failure with irregular menstrual cycles, increased follicle-stimulating hormone, premature menopause, and infertility.

Clinical implications of somatic allele expansion in female FMR1 premutation carriers
Carriers of a premutation allele (PM) in the FMR1 gene are at risk of developing a number of Fragile X premutation asssociated disorders (FXPAC), including Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS), Fragile X-associated Primary Ovarian ...

Predictors of Comorbid Conditions in Women Who Carry an FMR1 Premutation
Purpose: Women who carry an FMR1 premutation (PM) can experience two well-established PM-associated disorders: fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI, affects ~20–30% carriers) and fragile X-associated tremor-ataxia syndrome (FXTAS ...
