High Resolution Methylation PCR for Fragile X Analysis: Evidence for Novel FMR1 Methylation Patterns Undetected in Southern Blot Analyses

PURPOSE: Fragile X syndrome is associated with the expansion of CGG trinucleotide repeats and subsequent methylation of the fragile X mental retardation-1 (FMR1) gene. Molecular diagnosis of fragile X currently requires Southern blot analysis to assess methylation. This study describes the evaluatio...
