and characterized by long and narrow face, forward protruding forehead and chin, large ears, large testicles. It is related
various connective tissues and mental retardation (MR), ranging mostly from the mild (IQ=50-69) to severe MR (IQ=21-35).
Fragile-X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene which is responsible for mental retardation is located in Xq27.3. This gene has
been observed in the number of sick people in the CGG trinucleotide repeat sequences in the form of over 200 extends. 50-
200 of unmethylated CGG trinucleotide repeats is called the premutation carriers. In recent years increasingly emphasized
that the different protein repetations produced by the genes associated with Fragile X syndrome are contribute to leukemia.
The coexistence of these two disorders in a case was found remarkable in terms of the etiologic gene relation. In this case, we
aimed to present a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and the fragile X premutation who has diagnosed to
having "mild mental retardation" and "social anxiety disorder" (SAD)</Abstract><Email>drcagatay85@gmail.com</Email><articletype>casereport</articletype><volume>5</volume><issue>10</issue><year>2015</year><keyword> Fragile X Syndrome,Premutation,Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Mental Retardation</keyword><AUTHORS>Seyhan Temtek,Cagatay Ugur,Ozden S.
