Abstract excerpt
The fragile X syndrome is believed to be caused by an expansion of a CGG trinucleotide repeat segment in the FMR-1 gene on the fragile X site of the long arm of the X-chromosome. To understand the variation of the CGG repeat in the FMR-1 gene in southern Chinese from the Hong Kong and Guangzhou a...
