To determine the meiotic instability of the CGG-triplet repeat in the fragile-X gene, FMR1, we examined the size of the repeat in single sperm from four premutation males. The males had CGG-repeat sizes of 68, 75, 78, and 100, as determined in peripheral blood samples. All samples showed a broad range of variations, with expansions more common than contractions. Examination of single lymphocytes indicated that...
