Abstract excerpt
The size of the CGG repeat of the FMR1 gene was investigated with probe StB12.3 in 154 transmissions to the offspring of heterozygotes for the premutation and the full mutation. Among the 135 offspring of premutated heterozygotes there were three decreases in size of the repeats: in two of these cases a full mutation was present along with the decreased premutation, and in a third mosaic (46,fra(X)(q27.3),Y), a...
