Abstract excerpt
Using a modified sperm typing protocol, the mutation frequency of the CAG repeat region at the androgen receptor locus has been measured using a rare semen sample from an individual with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA). Among 258 X chromosome-containing sperm, 19% had a repeat number eq...
