Open AccessImplication of long-distance regulation of the HOXA cluster in a patient with postaxial polydactyly
Apparently balanced chromosomal inversions may lead to disruption of developmentally important genes at the breakpoints of the inversion, causing congenital malformations. Characterization of such inversions m...

Characterization of the full fragile X syndrome mutation in fetal gametes
Fragile X syndrome results from the expansion of the CGG repeat in the FMR1 gene. Expansion has been suggested to be a postzygotic event with the germline protected. From an analysis of intact ovaries of full mut...

Article
The full mutation in the FMR–1 gene of male fragile X patients is absent in their sperm
Fragile X syndrome is characterized at the molecular level by amplification of a (CGG)n repeat and hypermethylation of a CpG island preceeding the open reading frame of the fragile X gene (FMR–1) located in Xq27....

A point mutation in the FMR-1 gene associated with fragile X mental retardation
The vast majority of patients with fragile X syndrome show a folate–sensitive fragile site at Xq27.3 (FRAXA) at the cytogenetic level, and both amplification of the (CGG)n repeat and hypermethylation of the CpG i...
