Abstract excerpt
Fragile X syndrome is caused by expansion of a (CGG)n trinucleotide repeat within the 5' untranslated region of the FMR1 gene transcript. The disease is reliably diagnosed by Southern blotting, but this method constitutes a significant workload and requires large samples. Therefore, for large research or screening projects in which a large majority of the samples will be normal, a more rapid and less expensive...
