Slight instability of a FMR-1 allele over three generations in a family from the general population.

Abstract excerpt

We report on a family segregating a FMR-1 allele within the "grey zone" of triplet repeat length (n = 51). The allele showed a 1-unit increment when transmitted through a female meiosis and a 1-unit increment when transmitted through a male of the next generation. At the following generation, a pregnant woman had amniocentesis performed. The latter showed she transmitted the allele unchanged (n = 53) to her male...
