Fragile X syndrome and deletions in FMR1: new case and review of the literature.
American Journal of Medical Genetics 1997 November 13
The fragile X syndrome phenotype of mental retardation is almost always caused by abnormal CGG trinucleotide amplification within the FMR1 gene. Occasionally fragile X syndrome results from point mutations or deletions within or around the FMR1 locus. We have identified a mentally retarded African American male with typical fragile X phenotype and a 300-400 base pair intragenic deletion near the CGG repeat segment, present in his peripheral blood lymphocytes with no apparent mosaicism. His mother, who is not retarded, has a full FMR1 CGG expansion mutation with 700-900 repeats. A review of 23 published cases with FMR1 gene deletions shows full FMR1 mutation in the mother of only 1 other propositus, a male with FMR1 full mutation/premutation/deletion mosaicism of his cultured skin fibroblasts and peripheral blood lymphocytes. The various deletions within FMR1 and their clinical significance are reviewed.
