Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To compare the CGG-repeat-length and its methylation status in fetal tissues and to explicate the heterogeneity of CGG repeats. METHOD: Multiple tissues from a full mutation(August 2013) and a mosaic aborted fetus of 23-week gestation(May 2012) were collected and genomic DNA from these tissues was extracted. The CGG-repeat-length and methylation status in fetal tissues were determined by a combined...
