A Single Nucleotide Variant in the FMR1 CGG Repeat Results in a “Pseudodeletion” and Is Not Associated with the Fragile X Syndrome Phenotype

The molecular diagnosis of fragile X syndrome relies on the detection of the pathogenic CGG repeat expansion in the FMR1 gene. Deletions and point mutations have occasionally been reported. Rare polymorphisms might mimic a deletion by Southern blot analysis, leading to false-positive results. We des...
