  • Title: The fragile X syndrome I: familial variation in the proportion of lymphocytes with the fragile site in males.
    Author: Soudek D, Partington MW, Lawson JS.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 1984 Jan; 17(1):241-52. PubMed ID: 6711598.
    Abstract:
    A review of 61 males with the fragile X positive form of the Martin Bell syndrome from 30 families seen in the past 4 years suggests that the number of lymphocytes with the fragile site on the X chromosome (fra(X) ) in retarded males tends to be characteristic for the individual and similar to that found in other retarded males in the same family. The number of lymphocytes with fra(X) was not correlated with height, weight, occipitofrontal circumference, ear length or mean testicular volume in adults nor with age over the whole series.
