Abstract excerpt
The main mutation in fragile X patients is the expansion of the CGG repeat in the first exon of the FMR1 gene, associated with hypermethylation of the proximal CpG island. An increasing number of atypical cases have been reported showing the coexistence of full mutation and premutated or normal-sized alleles. These genotypes are more difficult to detect, and if a PCR strategy alone is adopted, they can be...
