Abstract excerpt
We have developed an improved method for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based sizing of the CCG repeat region at the fragile X locus, FMR-1. This method is designed to optimize denaturation and replication of long repeats with high G + C content, which are otherwise refractory to amplification. The method utilizes nested PCR primers to increase sensitivity and specificity. Alkaline denaturation of the genomic...
