Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most frequent cause of inherited X-linked intellectual disability. Conventional FXS genetic testing methods mainly focus on FMR1 CGG expansions and fail to identify AGG interruptions, rare intragenic variants, and large gene deletions. METHODS: A long-range PCR and long-read sequencing-based assay termed comprehensive analysis of FXS (CAFXS) was developed and evaluated...
