abstract：:Fragile X syndrome is the major cause of inherited mental retardation. The molecular basis for the expression of the fragile X phenotype is the expansion of an unstable CGG repeat element which inhibits transcription of the FMR1 gene. The fragile X syndrome shows great diversity in its phenotype as well as in its cyto...
