(FMRP translational regulator 1) variants other than repeat expansion are known to cause disease phenotypes but can be overlooked if they are not accounted for in genetic testing strategies. We collected and reanalyzed the evidence for pathogenicity of coding, noncoding, and copy number variants published to date. There is a spectrum of disease-causing variation, with clinical and functional evidence supporting pathogenicity of five splicing, five missense, one in-frame deletion, one nonsense, and four frameshift variants. In addition, deletions occur in both mosaic full mutation patients and as constitutional pathogenic alleles. De novo deletions arise not only from full mutation alleles but also alleles with normal-sized CGG repeats in several patients, suggesting that the CGG repeat region may be prone to genomic instability even in the absence of repeat expansion. We conclude that clinical tests for potentially -related indications such as intellectual disability should include methods capable of detecting small coding, noncoding, and copy number variants.
