Case 8 was a 22-year-old Caucasian male with a low-level full mutation with methylation mosaicism that was 43% methylated. His developmental milestones were delayed with walking at ~19 months, saying words at 2½ years, but he did not speak in phrases until he was ~3½ years of age. He showed a lot of self-talk, perseverative speech, has difficulty in organizing his thinking, and can be quite tangential. His full scale IQ of 45 fell in a moderately delayed range. On the ADOS, he did not meet full clinical criteria for an ASD, but fell in the PDD-NOS category. On the ADIS he met clinical criteria for Social Phobia.
Case 2 was a 53-year-old Caucasian male who had unmethylated alleles spanning from 180 to 690 CGG repeats. He had ADHD symptoms and significant impulsivity in childhood and after graduation from high school he began work as a carpenter. He developed severe hypertension at age 30 requiring antihypertensive medication. He developed an intermittent hand tremor that was noticeable when using tools or a pencil at age 49. He subsequently developed a tremor in his leg that feels as if a cell phone was vibrating in his pocket when there was none there. He experiences light-headedness and sometimes dizzy spells. On several occasions bright lights had flashed across his visual field although he did not have a history of migraines.\nOn his medical examination he had absent reflexes in all four extremities, a positive snout reflex, but no tremor nor ataxia were observed. The SCID revealed a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder not otherwise specified (NOS) with the most current episode depressed, a history of heavy substance abuse (methamphetamine, alcohol, and stimulants), specific phobia, and a self-reported previous diagnosis ADHD with impulsivity. His MRI did not demonstrate the middle cerebellar peduncle sign which would be typical of FXTAS criteria.
