Adult female fragile X premutation carriers exhibit age- and CGG repeat length-related impairments on an attentionally-based enumeration task

Adult female fragile X premutation carriers exhibit age- and CGG repeat length-related impairments on an attentionally-based enumeration task

The high frequency of the fragile X premutation in the general population and its emerging neurocognitive implications highlight the need to investigate the effects of the premutation on lifespan cognitive development.
