Abstract excerpt
Moderate to hyper-expansion of trinucleotide repeats at the FRAXA and FRAXE fragile sites, with or without concurrent hypermethylation, has been associated with intellectual disability and other conditions. Unlike molecular diagnosis of FMR1 CGG repeat expansions in FRAXA, current detection of AFF2 CCG repeat expansions in FRAXE relies on low-throughput and otherwise inefficient techniques combining Southern blot...
