Abstract excerpt
In order to characterize the dynamics of CGG repeat instability at the fragile X syndrome locus (FMR1 gene), we have used small pool PCR to estimate the mutation rate within germline (sperm) and somatic tissue (leukocytes) of two normal males, one carrying the most common 29 CGG repeats allele, t...
