Fragile X syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by moderate to severe mental retardation, macroorchidism, and distinct facial features, is caused in the majority of cases by an unstable expansion of a CGG repeat in the FMR1 gene and abnormal methylation, which results in suppression of FMR1 transcription and decreased protein levels in the brain [100]. Here, FMR1 is linked to neurodevelopmental disorder.
