Abstract excerpt
In order to approach preimplantation testing for the fragile-X syndrome, we used genotyping of the polymorphic RS46(DXS548) locus closely linked to the FMR-1 gene, in single reproductive cells of females. The RS46(DXS548) amplification was adjusted to the single cell level by a two-round polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure. Unfertilized oocytes and extruded polar bodies were subjected to PCR. RS46(DXS548)...
