| X CHROMOSOME FRAGILE SITE |
Pieretti et al (Cell 66:817-822,1991) reported that there was detectable but reduced 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. The reduced expression was thought to be due to partial methylation. |
| |
| GENE MAPPING & DOSAGE STUDIES - Y CHROMOSOME |
PCR analysis of DNA from this cell culture gave a positive result with a primer for Yq11, DYS227. |

| Gene |
FMR1 |
| Chromosomal Location |
Xq27.3 |
| 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 |
Mental retardation; typical facies; large ears; macro-orchidism; 46,fra(X)(q27),Y in PBLs; in lymph culture, 2% of cells are positive with methotrexate and 6% are positive with FudR; low but detectable FMR-1 gene expression; CGG repeat size of 477 in the FMR1 gene as detected by PCR (normal size range is 5-45 repeats); full mutation (fully methylated) characteristic of Fragile X syndrome. |
