Female fragile X premutation carriers are at increased risk for metabolic syndrome from early adulthood.

Background And Aims: Women with primary ovarian insufficiency exhibit an unfavorable cardiovascular risk profile. A common cause for primary ovarian insufficiency is fragile X premutation (FXPC), and data on the cardiovascular risk factors in women with FXPC are scarce. We aimed to assess the prevalences of abnormal metabolic components among FXPC.
