Beyond Trinucleotide Repeat Expansion in Fragile X Syndrome: Rare Coding and Noncoding Variants in <i>FMR1</i> and Associated Phenotypes
<i>FMR1</i> (FMRP translational regulator 1) variants other than repeat expansion are known to cause disease phenotypes but can be overlooked if they are not accounted for in genetic testing strategies. We collected and reanalyzed the evidence for pathogenicity of <i>FMR1</i>...
