We report an extended family in which two brothers with a fragile X chromosome are mentally retarded while a third brother with the fragile site is both phenotypically and mentally normal. The study of six probes detecting restriction fragment length polymorphisms on either sides of the fragile site

The probability of a heterozygote being affected was estimated from the distribution of frequencies of early-replicating fragile X [fra(X)I chromosome in normal and mentally retarded heterozygotes, taking into account the prior probabilities of 0.35 for mental retardation and 0.65 for normality. The
## Abstract Older male premutation carriers of the __FMR1__ gene are associated with the risk of developing a late‐onset neurodegenerative disorder, fragile X–associated tremor/ataxia syndrome. Although previous postmortem and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging studies have indicated white matter p
