Abstract excerpt
Triplet repeat disease is a group of hereditary neurodegenerative disorders caused by expansion of trinucleotide repeats such as CAG/CTG, CGG/CCG, and GAA/TTC. Direct detection of the expansion in the patient's genome shortcuts the tedious process needed for identification of disease genes by conventional approaches. Here we describe a method to detect triplet repeat expansion from the hybridization signal...
