Abstract excerpt
The fragile X syndrome belongs to the most common genetic diseases and has a prevalence of one in every 2000 children. The syndrome is named after the fragile site in q27.3 on the X chromosome. The molecular cloning of the DNA containing the fragile site has resulted in the identification of a heritable unstable DNA sequence revealing a new mechanism of mutation in human genetic disorders. This DNA sequence...
