Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We sought to compare patterns of full mutation repeat-length variability in the peripheral blood DNA of patients with fragile X syndrome to determine whether siblings possess mutation patterns more similar than those of unrelated patients. METHODS: Mutation patterns were visualized by Southern blot analysis and captured digitally with a phosphor imager. Novel comparison strategies based on overlapping...
