These reagents provide a PCR-only approach based on Triplet Repeat Primed PCR (TP-PCR) design to reliably amplify and detect all alleles including Full Mutations (Photo courtesy of Asuragen)

Fragile X Syndrome Mutations Found With Comprehensive Testing Method

Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common form of inherited intellectual disability and monogenic cause of autism spectrum disorders, is mainly caused by the expansion of CGG trinucleotide repeats in the 5′ untranslated region of FMR1 gene. More...

Genetic Prognosis Explored for Pediatric Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in children is a disease in which, due to abnormalities in the muscle, one or both ventricles in a child’s heart become enlarged and contract poorly. A variety of processes that result in myocardial damage can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease. More...
