Figure 1
A, Ovary of a fragile X premutation carrier with 100 repeats demonstrating frequent ubiquitin-positive inclusions (arrows). Non-specific staining of stromal nuclei and cytoplasm is also seen. B, Ovary of a control case showing a rare ubiquitin-positive inclusion (arrow). (Ubiquitin stains, haematoxylin counterstain; photographed under ×40 objective and ×0.70 C-Mount adapter.)
Figure 2
Figure 2
Ovarian follicles including granulosa and theca cells found in (A) a fragile X premutation carrier with 62 repeats and (B) a control patient, showing similar morphology and ubiquitin immunostaining patterns. (Ubiquitin stains, haematoxylin counterstain; photographed under ×40 objective and ×0.70 C-Mount adapter).
