摘要
Previous reports have suggested that expansion of the CGG repeat located in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene might be responsible for a significant number of patients with the multiple system atrophy (MSA) phenotype. Analysis of 65 MSA patients found only 4.6% displayed CGG expansions in the suspected range. This is similar to the frequency reported in the normal population, suggesting that this expansion does not play a major role in the MSA phenotype. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
