Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is primarily caused by the expansion of CGG repeats in the 5' untranslated region of the FMR1 gene. Accurate detection of expanded FMR1 alleles is essential for timely diagnosis and management. Triplet-repeat primed PCR is the most widely used method for detecting FXS; however, it has limitations in detecting low DNA input (< 10 ng/μL) and low-level mosaicism (< 5%). This...
