A decrease in age of onset of schizophrenia through consecutive family generations (anticipation) has been found in several studies. Anticipation is known to result from expansion of CAG repeats in genes that determine several neurodegenerative disorders. In a previous study we analysed 26 unilineal

The molecular mechanism of the fragile X syndrome is based on the expansion of an unstable CGG repeat in the 5 untranslated region of the FMR1 gene in most patients. This expansion is associated with an abnormal DNA methylation leading to the absence of production of FMR1 protein (FMRP). Such expans
