What tests are done to diagnose fragile X syndrome?
FXS can be diagnosed by testing a person's DNA from a blood test. A doctor or genetic counselor can order the test. Testing also can be done to find changes in the FMR1 gene that can lead to fragile X-associated disorders.What is the PCR test for fragile X syndrome?
Fragile X syndrome: DNA is amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to determine the size of the CGG repeat region within the FMR1 gene. PCR products are generated using a fluorescence labeled primer and sized by capillary gel electrophoresis.What is fragile X analysis?
Testing for the fragile X mutation is based primarily on measuring the length of the FMR1 gene region containing the CGG repeat stretch and then calculating the CGG repeat number. Analysis of the gene's methylation status (i.e. whether the gene is turned 'off' or 'on') is often performed simultaneously.
