Abstract excerpt
A number of recent studies have found non-random association between the fragile X mutation and genotypes for the closest-linked flanking markers, suggesting either a limited number of 'founder' mutations or, alternatively, a predisposing haplotype for the fragile X expansions. Using three microsatellite markers within 150 kb of FRAXA, we have compared haplotypes in a series of fragile X males and in a control...
