Collaboration with UW Waisman Center • Genetic/Complex Disorders • 1) To estimate the prevalence of premutation of FMR1 using the Wisconsin longitudinal Study (WLS) cohort (PMRP in the Marshfield cohort • 2) To describe natural history of premutation into adulthood and into old age (18 through 70 yrs.) with respect to family background, academic achievement, IQ, marital history, fertility, childbearing patterns, menopause, occupational stability, depression and anxiety, health and physical symptoms and cognition. • 3) To compare men and women with the premutation with a closely matched comparison group of WLS unaffected age peers. Because of the small size of the sample with the permutation, this will be an exploratory aim. Marsha Seltzer, PhD Waisman Center Murray H. Brilliant, PhD MCRF
