摘要

Fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited cause of intellectual impairment and the most common single gene associated with autism, generally occurs for fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) alleles that exceed 200 CGG repeats (full-mutation range). Currently, there are no unbiased estimates of the number of full-mutation FMR1 alleles in the general population; a major obstacle is the lack of an effective screening tool for expanded FMR1 alleles in large populations. We have developed a rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based screening tool for expanded FMR1 alleles. The method utilizes a chimeric PCR primer that targets randomly within the expanded CGG region, such that the presence of a broad distribution of PCR products represents a positive result for an expanded allele. The method is applicable for screening both males and females and for allele sizes throughout the premutation (55 to 200 CGG repeats) and full-mutation ranges. Furthermore, the method is capable of rapid detection of expanded alleles using as little as 1% of the DNA from a single dried blood spot. The methodology presented in this work is suitable for screening large populations of newborn or those at high risk (eg, autism, premature ovarian failure, ataxia, dementia) for expanded FMR1 alleles. The test described herein costs less than $5 per sample for materials; with suitable scale-up and automation, the cost should approach $1 per sample.
