6 Oct 1993
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To develop a rapid, nonradioactive test using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) capable of detecting full fragile X mutations, premutations, and resolving normal alleles and to apply this to prenatal diagnosis and carrier screening of pregnant women at risk for fragile X carrier status.
