Abbreviations: FXPC−, fragile X premutation carriers without fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome; FXPC+, fragile X premutation carriers with fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome.

Bold, significant at 5% false discovery rate.

The comparisons of FXPC+ with older controls and FXPC− were performed in the same regression analyses.
