Test determines CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene to diagnose Fragile X syndrome. Test uses TP-PCR/Capillary Electrophoresis. Methylation analysis is used to distinguish between premutation and full mutation alleles.
Frequently Asked Questions
This test is done to diagnose Fragile X syndrome.
This test is offered to children with development delays, learning disabilities, social & behavioural disorders.
Test determines CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene to diagnose Fragile X syndrome (FXS). Triplet repeat primed PCR (TP-PCR) is used to detect presence or absence of pathogenically expanded allele and hence determines Premutation (Carrier state) and Full mutation (Affected) in the individual.
The FMR1 gene makes a protein called FMRP which is needed for brain development and due to the genetic defect the protein is not produced resulting in development delay, learning, social & behavioural disorders in child.
