Abstract excerpt
Expression of the fragile site Xq27.3 was investigated in 82 heterozygotes (58 normal and 24 mentally impaired) diagnosed by DNA analysis. EcoRI and EagI DNA digests were probed with StB12.3. This allowed the detection of the expansion of the CGG repeat of the FMR1 gene and the methylation pattern of the adjacent CpG island. Heterozygotes with delta < or = 400 bp (52/82) were all mentally normal and manifested...
