Adult onset neurodegenerative disorder

Gene: FMR1

I don't know

In FXTAS, the expanded repeats range in size from 55 to 200 repeats and are referred to as 'premutations;' full repeat expansions with greater than 200 repeats results in fragile X syndrome. The penetrance of FXTAS in male carriers aged 50 years and over, ascertained through families with a fragile X syndrome proband, is at least 33% (Hagerman and Hagerman, 2004); its penetrance in female carriers is approximately 5-10% (Greco et al., 2008). WGS may not be the best testing strategy.

Mode of inheritance
X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, monoallelic mutations in females may cause disease (may be less severe, later onset than males)
