Abstract excerpt

We report on the molecular basis of the rare, folate-sensitive fragile site FRA11A in chromosome band 11q13 in a family with cytogenetic expression. Five individuals express the fragile site and one was mentally retarded. Expansion of a polymorphic CGG-repeat located at the 5' end of the C11orf80 gene causes FRA11A. The CGG-repeat elongation coincides with hypermethylation of the adjacent CpG island and...
