Abstract

Our previous results showed that both gray zone and lower end premutation range (40–85 repeats) fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) alleles were more common among males with parkinsonism than in the general population. This study aimed to determine whether these alleles have a significant role in the manifestations and pathogenesis of parkinsonian disorders.
