Case 5 was a 58-year-old Caucasian male with an unmethylated full mutation. He had a long face with mildly prominent ears. He suffered from degenerative disc disease and chronic muscle pain and using an electric wheelchair. His full scale IQ of 84 fell within a low average range. On the SCID-I he met criteria for Bipolar I Disorder with a current episode of major depression. He met sub-threshold criteria for psychotic symptoms with hearing voices, and he did have some religious perseverations and grandiose thinking. He met criteria for panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. He had significant obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) with sexual obsessions and frequent lock checking. On neurological examination he had an intention tremor, neuropathy symptoms, ataxia, while on physical examination he had macroorchidism (70 ml volume bilaterally) and a long face, which are features of the full mutation FXS. His MRI did not have the middle cerebellar peduncle sign but clinically, he appeared to have both FXS and FXTAS.
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.
