## Abstract Since only 20% of female fragile X premutation carriers develop premature ovarian failure (POF, i.e., amenorrhea before age of 40 years), and since X chromosome inactivation (XCI) determines the phenotypic severity of full mutation women, we reasoned that the development of POF in fragi
There have been contradictory ยฎndings in the fragile X (fraX) literature about possible neurocognitive and psychological symptoms due to the fraX premutation (pM).
