Abstract
Fragile X chromosome preparations were analyzed at levels of up to 850 bands per haploid set. We were able to consistently sublocalize the Xqter fragile site to band Xq27.3 using high-resolution methods. Chromosome length versus the frequency of fragile X expression was also compared. The fragile site appeared at a higher percentage in more condensed chromosome preparations. The importance of this finding is that high-resolution chromosome preparations do not optimize fragile-X detection.Entities:
