Journal ArticleDOI

Fragile X syndrome without CCG amplification has an FMR1 deletion.

TL;DR: The patient has a previously uncharacterized submicroscopic deletion encompassing the CCG repeat, the entire FMR1 gene and about 2.5 megabases of flanking sequences, confirming that the fragile X phenotype can exist, without amplification of theCCG repeat or cytogenetic expression of the fragileX.
Journal Article

A microdeletion of less than 250 kb, including the proximal part of the FMR-I gene and the fragile-X site, in a male with the clinical phenotype of fragile-X syndrome.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that a deletion including the HTF island and exons of the FMR-1 gene was detected in a fragile X-negative mentally retarded male who presented the clinical phenotype of the fragile-X syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alternative splicing in the fragile X gene FMR1

TL;DR: The FMR1 gene, associated with fragile X syndrome, has recently been cloned and the sequence of partial cDNA clones is known, and additional cDNA sequences both at the 5' and 3' end are determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

A strategy for the selection of transcribed sequences in the Xq28 region

TL;DR: A protocol allowing the rapid isolation of transcripts defined by overlapping clone libraries, based on the hybridisation of cDNA inserts, resulted in the identification of 81 cDNA clones, of which 54 clones were mapped back to the cosmid contigs.
