[7] 4-40 CGG repeats in this gene is considered normal, while individual with >200 repeats have full Fragile X Syndrome. [7] In contrast to FXS full mutation, which is diagnosed early in childhood, symptoms of FXTAS manifest in individuals over the age of 50. [1] Like FXS, FXTAS is most common and most severe in males due to the mutation's X ...
Some individuals with fragile X syndrome also meet the diagnostic criteria for autism. [14] Males with a full mutation display virtually complete penetrance and will therefore almost always display symptoms of FXS, while females with a full mutation generally display a penetrance of about 50% as a result of having a second, normal X chromosome ...

FMR1 (Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1) is a human gene [5] that codes for a protein called fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein, or FMRP. [6] This protein, most commonly found in the brain, is essential for normal cognitive development and female reproductive function.
Sherman theorized that the gene responsible for fragile X syndrome becomes mutated through a two-step process. The first mutation, called the 'premutation', doesn't cause any clinical symptoms. A second mutation was required to convert the 'premutation' into a 'full mutation' capable of causing the clinical symptoms associated with fragile X ...
However, mutations have also been found in FMR1, FLNA, UPF3B, CASK, MECP2 and ATRX genes. [6] Mutations on these different genes lead to the different types of FG syndrome, all with similar characteristics. [6] The FGS8 type mutation is the most common of the types, and is found in the MED12 gene. [6] Known types and affected genes include:

Fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI) is the most common genetic cause of premature ovarian failure in women with a normal karyotype 46,XX. [1] The expansion of a CGG repeat in the 5' untranslated region of the FMR1 gene from the normal range of 5-45 repeats to the premutation range of 55-199 CGGs leads to risk of FXPOI for ovary-bearing individuals.
