Abstract

The sizes of the fragile X mutation in 33 sib pairs affected with fragile X syndrome were determined by Southern blot analysis. An age-dependent decrease in the size of the mutation was found, suggesting positive selection of blood cells carrying small mutations during life or maternal imprinting.
