CGG Repeats in the 5'UTR of FMR1 RNA Regulate Translation of Other RNAs Localized in the Same RNA Granules.

CGG repeats in the 5'UTR of Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) RNA mediate RNA localization and translation in granules. Large expansions of CGG repeats (> 200 repeats) in FMR1, referred to as full mutations, are associated with fragile X syndrome (FXS). Smaller expansions (55-200 repeats...
