Premutation and intermediate CGG repeat length at the Fragile X Mental Retardation (FMR1) locus has been associated with premature ovarian failure. We tested whether intermediate length is associated with indicators of ovarian age in a sample of fertile women. Our primary measures of ovarian age were anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The cross-sectional sample comprised 258 women with karyotyped spontaneous abortions (140 trisomic, 118 chromosomally normal or with anomalies other than trisomy) and 325 women with recent live births (LBs). We analyzed data from the total sample and data from LBs only. We defined CGG repeat length by the length, both continuous and categorical, on the longer allele. CGG repeat length was not significantly associated with either hormone measure. A repeat length of 35–54 CGG, versus the modal category of 30 CGG, was associated with approximately a 7% increase in median AMH and a 3% increase in median FSH. Results were unaltered when analyses were limited to LBs. Analyses of hormone levels using cutpoints to define older ovarian age showed no associations with repeat length. Among ten women with repeat lengths of 35–54 CGG analyzed for AGG sequences, the uninterrupted CGG length was not significantly longer among women with hormonal indicators of “old” versus “young” ovarian age. Our data do not support an association of intermediate CGG repeat length with levels of AMH or FSH among fertile women.
