Abstract excerpt
It is now known that 15 monogenic, mostly neurological, disorders are caused by the same type of mutations that occur in trinucleotide repeat sequences in certain genes. Since they share a nonspecific and variable phenotype, the accurate diagnosis could be made only by DNA analysis. We developed an Expand Long PCR assay that provides more reliable molecular diagnosis of such disorders. Its main characteristics...
