| X CHROMOSOME FRAGILE SITE |
Pieretti et al (Cell 66:817-822,1991) reported that there was no detectable expression of the gene, FMR-1, that is expressed in brain at the fragile X locus in this lymphoblast culture established from a male with fragile X syndrome. |

| Allelic Variant 1 |
309550.0004; FRAGILE X MENTAL RETARDATION SYNDROME |
| Identified Mutation |
(CGG)n EXPANSION; The usual cause of the fragile X syndrome is an expanded (CGG)n repeat in the 5-prime noncoding region of the FMR1 gene. |
| Remarks |
46,fra(X)(q27),Y in 12% of PBL; institutionalized; mild mental retardation; negative for FMR-1 gene expression; affected male by Southern analysis |
