Abstract excerpt
In this study, we have characterized a CGG repeat at the FMR-1 locus in more than 100 families (more than 500 individuals) presenting for fragile X testing and in 247 individuals from the general population. Both Southern blot and PCR-based assays were evaluated for their ability to detect premutations, full mutations, and variability in normal allele sizes. Among the Southern blot assays, the probes Ox1.9 or...
