In this study, we report on a group of premutation carriers who show partial methylation and in some cases we demonstrate the presence of intra and inter-tissue mosaicism. In addition, our findings indicate that the percent of methylation of alleles correlate with the number of clinical symptoms suggesting that methylation may be an indicator for penetrance of the disorder in those cases who present with epigenetic modifications within the gene.
