Therefore, all daughters of a normal transmitting male are fragile X carriers. qxd 7/9/04 16:04 Page 36 Females with a premutation are called carriers. They will transmit their X chromosome with the CGG expansion to half their sons and half their daughters. A premutation has a high risk of expanding to a full mutation when maternally transmitted, and the risk of expansion depends on the size of the premutation. Premutations with more than 70 CGG repeats have an 80% chance of expanding to a full mutation.
14-3-3ε is composed of six exons and codes for a 255-amino-acid protein that is the epsilon subunit of tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/ tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein. The protein product of 14-3-3ε is required for cytoplasmic dynein function and neuronal migration. 3, and deletion of both 14-3-3ε and LIS1 appears to cause the more severe lissencephaly phenotype of Miller–Dieker syndrome. DCX is made up of seven exons. It encodes doublecortin, which has 402 amino acids. Doublecortin is almost exclusively expressed in the frontal lobes of the fetal brain.
Its protein product, SET-binding factor 2, has 1,849 amino acids and is a member of the pseudophosphatase branch of myotubularin-related proteins. It is expressed in fetal brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves and is involved in the differentiation of Schwann cells during myelination. Mutations in SBF2 cause HMSN IVB2. NDRG1 has 16 exons. Its protein product has 394 amino acids and is ubiquitously expressed. It appears to be expressed at particularly high levels in Schwann cells. NDRG1 protein is involved in growth arrest and cell differentiation, and it appears to have a role in Schwann cell signaling that is necessary for axonal survival.
