Abstract excerpt
AIM: Molecular diagnosis of fragile X syndrome demands assessment of fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) CGG repeat size and methylation status, while predicting disease transmission risk requires determination of AGG interruption pattern. There is currently no single assay that provides all three categories of information. We describe a single-tube methylation-specific triplet-primed PCR assay for concurrently...
