Abstract

Fragile X carriers have a median age of menopause 6 to 8 years earlier than women in the general population, with 28% experiencing premature ovarian failure defined as menopause before the age of 40 years. This information was obtained from 203 returned questionnaires from women in the UK Fragile X Society.
