  1. Notes: For the hair follicle type, the mean fmol FMRP/ug protein value across all samples for each subject is summarized
  2. For the buccal swab collection type, the fmol FMRP/ug protein value is not summarized as the value was ‘Below LLOQ’ for all samples
  3. Abbreviations: Max maximum, Min minimum, n number of subjects, SD standard deviation, BLQ below limit of quantification
