Early menopause in the fragile X carriers has been well documented in several reports. All surveys demonstrated that 13-25% of fragile X carriers experienced premature ovarian failure (POF), defined as menopause before the age of 40 years. In 1995 we started screening two groups of subjects as a par

We studied five groups of women with ovarian dysfunction for the CGG expansion in FMR1 and a (TA)n polymorphism in the estrogen receptor gene: a) poor responders to ovarian stimulation as part of in vitro fertilization (n = 13); b) women with familial premature ovarian failure (POF) (n = 7); c) spor

Ovarian failure can result from several different genetic mechanisms-X chromosomal abnormalities, autosomal recessive genes causing various types of XX gonadal dysgenesis, and autosomal dominant genes. The number and precise location of loci on the X are still under investigation, but it is clear th

This is the first report that details an association between fragile X syndrome (FXS) and selective mutism (SM). This 12-year-old girl with heterozygous full mutation at FMR1 has a long history of social anxiety and shyness in addition to SM. Her sister also has the full mutation and a history of SM

To investigate the origin of fragile X mutations in the Argentine population, we studied the alleles and haplotypes at DXS548 and FRAXAC1 loci of 42 unrelated fragile X chromosomes and 168 normal ones. Four haplotypes presented in linkage disequilibrium and accounted for 76.2% of fragile X chromosom
