abstract：:Fragile X Syndrome is the most common form of hereditary mental retardation. It is caused by a large expansion of the CGG trinucleotide repeat (>200 repeats) in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of the FMR1 gene that leads to silencing of its transcript. Individuals with CGG repeat expansions approximately between 60 a...
