FMR1 is involved in four genetic disorders depending on the CGG repeats length in its 5\u2032UTR: the full mutation is responsible for the Fragile X syndrome while the premutation is associated with the Fragile X-associated Tremor\/Ataxia Syndrome, Fragile X-associated Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (FXPOI) and Fragile X-associated neuropsychiatric disorders. FMR1 presents multiple isoforms resulting from skipping of exons 12 and 14 and the use of alternative splice sites in exons 15 and 17.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To investigate the expression of Fmr1 splicing variants during folliculogenesis in the rat.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used preantral, early antral and preovulatory follicles to isolate RNA and characterise, by fluorescent PCR followed by sequencing, all the isoforms present in the different follicular stages.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Key results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified two isoforms resulting from splicing of exon 12, six isoforms resulting from splicing of exon 14 and 15 and one isoform for exon 17.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The expression levels of the isoforms vary within each follicular stage but not between different stages of folliculogenesis.
