Abstract excerpt
We report on the allele distribution in a normal Chilean population at 2 microsatellite loci neighbouring the FRAXA locus and at the CGG repeat in the 5' end of the FMR-1 gene, which causes the fragile X syndrome. The most common CGG repeat allele was 30 (41.7%), with 29 being second most common (30.2%). This distribution was similar from that seen in Caucasians but different from that observed in Chinese...
