Genetic testing of a male with a trinucleotide CGG repeat that is 400bp long in the 5' UTR of the FMR1 gene. Recall that a repeat is 3 nucleotides and the clinical testing reports the number of repeats, not nucleotides. This individual would be reported as:
A. healthy / normal status
B. pre-mutation status
C. full mutation status
