Dynamic mutations pose unique challenges for the molecular diagnostics laboratory.

Abstract excerpt

Routine clinical molecular testing of diseases associated with unstable or dynamic trinucleotide repeat syndromes poses unique technical, medical, and ethical challenges to the laboratory. Although the pathophysiology of these disorders is to date still largely undefined, the uniformity of their genetics has led to the development of highly informative diagnostic tests. In general, amplification techniques, such...
