Remarks:
Sequences between -223 and -209 [bases 29 to 43 here in database] appear to contribute most of the observed
IRES activity of the FMR1 5'-UTR in the dicistronic context. This sequence is located mainly within a
21-nucleotide, pyrimidine-rich region spanning nucleotides -232 through -212 [bases 20 to 40 here in
database].
