Abstract excerpt
We report the direct molecular detection of the fragile X genotype in 111 individuals from 17 families with a total of 31 cases of fragile X syndrome. Comparison of our molecular data with our previous cytogenetic and linkage data from these same families indicates the effectiveness of the direct molecular analysis. We have been able to assign a genotype unambiguously in 100% of the persons tested, and in all...
