Comparison of Two Different PCR-based Methods for Detection of GAA Expansions in Frataxin Gene

Background: Expansion of GAA trinucleotide repeats is the molecular basis of Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA). Precise detection of the GAA expansion repeat in frataxin gene has always been a challenge. Different molecular methods have been suggested for detection of GAA expansion, including; short-PCR, l...
