Allele distribution at the FMR1 locus in the general Chinese population.

Clinical genetics - 1 May 1999

Chiang S C, Lee Y M, Wang T R, Hwu W L

Abstract excerpt

Fragile X syndrome is an important disease of hereditary mental retardation. Its prevalence in the Chinese population is not clear. We amplified FMR1 CGG repeats from male newborns' blood spots. Approximately 45% of the males had 28 CGG repeats and another 19% had 29 repeats. Besides this major peak, there was a second peak at 34 and 35 repeats. From the 1000 males studied, 3 were found to have repeat numbers in...
