    • Direct molecular analysis of FMR-1 gene mutation in patients with fragile Xq syndrome and their families ... 
      Alliende, M. Angélica R; Urzúa Orellana, Blanca; Valiente, Alf G.; Cortés, Fanny M.; Curotto, Bianca L.; Rojas, Cecilia B. (1998)
      Background: The unequivocal diagnosis of fragile Xq syndrome is based in the direct analysis of the underlying FMR-1 gene mutation, that consists in an increased number of trinucleotide CGG repetitions. Aim: To study ...
    • Identification of Males with Cryptic Fragile X Alleles by Methylation-Specific Quantitative Melt Analysis 
      Aliaga, Solange M.; Slater, Howard R.; Francis, David; Du Sart, Desiree; Li, Xin; Amor, David J.; Alliende, Angelica M.; Santa María Vásquez, Lorena; Faúndes Gómez, Víctor; Morales, Paulina; Trigo, Cesar; Salas, Isabel; Curotto, Bianca; Godler, David E. (Amer. Assoc. Clinical Chemistry, 2016)
      BACKGROUND: FMR1 full mutations (FMs) (CGG expansion >200) in males mosaic for a normal (<45 CGG) or gray-zone (GZ) (45-54 CGG) allele can be missed with the standard 2-step fragile X syndrome (FXS) testing protocols, ...
