Array-based FMR1 sequencing and deletion analysis in patients with a fragile X syndrome-like phenotype.

Array-based FMR1 sequencing and deletion analysis in patients with a fragile X syndrome-like phenotype.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by loss of function mutations in the FMR1 gene. Trinucleotide CGG-repeat expansions, resulting in FMR1 gene silencing, are the most common mutations observed at this locus. Even though the repeat expansion mutation is a functional null mutation, few conventional mu...
