: Clinical information of the 23-year-old male proband together with the 63-year-old mother with the c.500A>C (p.Gln167Pro) FMR1 variant were received under informed consent from the tending clinician and was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Antwerp University Hospital, Antwerp, Belgium with reference number B300201316250. HEK293T cells were purchased from ATCC at a low passage number with consistent use of cells below a passage number of 15. LCLs were generated from peripheral blood lymphocytes donated by a consenting mother and clinicians in the laboratory of Frank Kooy.
: A written informed consent for publication of the subjects with the c.500A>C (p.Gln167Pro) FMR1 variant was provided by the mother and legal representative for use of photographs, biopsies and/or X-rays for medical reasons (discussion between colleagues, teaching, or publication in scientific papers). All patient-derived cell lines were obtained under a written informed consent for publication by the patients and the tending clinicians.
