Abstract
A sequence of the FMR-1 gene is disclosed. This sequence and related probes, cosmids and unique repeats are used to detect X-linked diseases and especially the fragile X syndrome. Also, methods using methylation-sensitive restriction endonuclease and PCR primer probes were used to detect X-linked disease.
