Abstract
In an attempt to understand the nature of the mutational event leading to the fra(X) syndrome, we have searched for sporadic cases in 3 populations: affected males, affected females, and non‐affected transmitting females. In all 3 populations there was a dearth of isolated cases, and the reasons for this are discussed.Keywords
