Case 4 was a 28-year-old Caucasian full mutation male with an almost complete lack of methylation. His developmental milestones were only slightly delayed. He is a high-functioning FXS male with great insight into emotions but he showed some Asperger Syndrome (DSM-IV) symptoms. On the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule interview, he met criteria for social phobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder with overlapping psychotic-schizotypical (personality disorder) symptoms. His full scale IQ of 117 fell within the high average range.\nIn the SCID he reported frequent self-talk. He met clinical criteria for Social Phobia (with peers, strangers, in school). In the past he fulfilled criteria for depressive disorder (sub-threshold, only 2 main criteria out of 5 met). There was no evidence of mania current or past, but the he reported racing thoughts. Some symptoms point to prodromal features (peculiar behavior, impaired personal hygiene, inappropriate affect, and over-elaborate speech). In the past he met criteria for separation anxiety disorder (nightmares, physical symptoms, and excessive distress in anticipation of separations and separation, school reluctance, and fears of being alone at home) and Generalized Anxiety with strong self-consciousness.
Case 13 was a 27-year-old Caucasian male with FXS mosaicism with 40% of his cells carrying the premutation of 104 CGG repeats, and the rest with a full mutation with partial methylation. His IQ at age 25 on the Stanford Binet showed a verbal IQ of 63, nonverbal of 60, and full scale IQ of 60. In his childhood he was anxious and socially awkward and he did well with atypical antipsychotics including aripiprazole and risperidone in addition to sertraline and topiramate. At age 24 he developed an oral motor dystonia with spasms of his tongue which made his speech unintelligible. He also developed a neck twisting movement. His risperidone was tapered without improvement of his symptoms and he was treated with a variety of medications including carbidopa/levodopa, and lamotrigine without effect, but he later improved with clonazepam and guanfacine.
