Abstract excerpt
Low fragile X frequencies have been commonly observed in chorionic villus sample (CVS) cultures, compared to subsequent analysis in whole blood or products of conception (POC). To investigate possible mechanisms for this effect, CVS cultures from a previously identified fragile X positive male, w...
