Fragile X syndrome is the most common known cause of inherited mental retardation. Identification of patients and carriers of fragile X syndrome is usually done with a DNA test system but we have developed a rapid antibody to identify fragile X patients. This non-invasive test requires only 1 or 2 drops of blood and can be used for screening large groups of mentally retarded people and neonates for fragile X syndrome.
脆性X综合征是已知遗传性智力迟钝最常见的病因。脆性X综合征患者及携带者的识别通常采用DNA检测系统,但我们已研发出一种快速抗体来识别脆性X综合征患者。这种非侵入性检测仅需1至2滴血,可用于对大量智障人群及新生儿进行脆性X综合征筛查。
