## Abstract Fragile Xโassociated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a neurological progressive disorder associated with the __FMR1__ gene premutation. We report on variable presentation of findings associated with FXTAS in 3 brothers aged 68, 74, and 73 years, carrying premutation alleles of (CGG)~1
Several mechanisms can explain the occurrence of full-mutation fragile X males with an I& level above -2 SD below mean, also called "high-functioning fragile X males." Incomplete methylation of the CpG island at the 5' end of the FMRl gene is one of these mechanisms. The present study describes the
The fragile X mental retardation syndrome is caused by an expansion of a trinucleotide repeat (CGG)n in the FMR-1 gene. Molecular genetic study of fragile X provides accurate diagnosis and facilitates genetic counseling in families with affected members. We present here the molecular study of 59 Spa
