Background Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common inherited form of intellectual disability caused by a CGG repeat expansion in the 5 ' untranslated region of the FMR1 gene. When the number of repeats exceeds 200, the gene becomes hypermethylated and is transcriptionally silenced, resulting in FXS. Other allelic forms of the gene that are studied because of their instability or phenotypic consequence include intermediate alleles (45-54 CGG repeats) and premutation alleles (55-200 repeats). Normal alleles are classified as having
