Fragile X premutation is a significant risk factor for premature ovarian failure: the International Collaborative POF in Fragile X study--preliminary data.
The preliminary results of an international collaborative study examining premature menopause in fragile X carriers are presented. A total of 760 women from fragile X families was surveyed about their fragile X carrier status and their menstrual and reproductive histories. Among the subjects, 395 carried a premutation, 128 carried a full mutation, and 237 were noncarriers. Sixty-three (16%) of ...
متن کاملMolecular diagnosis and genetic counseling for fragile X mental retardation.
The fragile X syndrome is the most frequent cause of inherited mental retardation. It is caused by a dynamic mutation: the progressive expansion of polymorphic (CGG)n trinucleotide repeats located in the promoter region of the FMRI gene at Xq27.3. The cloning of the FMRI gene and the elucidation of the molecular basis of the fragile X syndrome is of great importance for the diagnosis and unders...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness analysis of prenatal population-based fragile X carrier screening.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the cost-effectiveness of a widespread prenatal population-based fragile X carrier screening program. STUDY DESIGN A decision tree was designed comparing screening versus not screening for the fragile X mental retardation protein 1 premutation in all pregnant women. Baseline values included a prevalence of fragile X mental retardation protein 1 premutations of 3.3 per...
متن کاملA review of fragile X premutation disorders: expanding the psychiatric perspective.
CONTEXT Fragile X premutation conditions are associated with a significant degree of psychopathology and thus are of interest to the psychiatrist. Remarkable advances at the molecular level have enhanced our understanding of fragile X premutation disorders. OBJECTIVE The authors review the genetic, molecular, neuroimaging, and clinical (systemic, neurologic, and psychiatric) manifestations of...
متن کاملX-inactivation in the clinical phenotype of fragile X premutation carrier sisters
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to describe a case series of 4 sisters with discordant clinical phenotypes associated with fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) that may be explained by varying CGG repeat sizes and activation ratios (ARs) (the ratio of cells carrying the normal fragile X mental retardation 1 [FMR1] allele on the active X chromosome). METHODS Four sisters ...
