Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We have developed sensitive diagnostic procedures for studies on the normal and mutant alleles of the triplet repeat genes associated with myotonic dystrophy and fragile X in single human somatic cells, gametes and embryos. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for the normal a...
