Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Fragile X CGG repeat alleles often contain one or more AGG interruptions that influence allele stability and risk of a full mutation transmission from parent to child. We have examined transmissions of maternal and paternal alleles with 45-90 repeats to quantify the effect of AGG interruptions on fragile X repeat instability. METHODS: A novel FMR1 polymerase chain reaction assay was used to determine CGG...
