  • Patent number: 6242576
    Abstract: The DNA sequence spanning the fragile X site on the X human chromosome has been obtained in purified and isolated form. As fragile X is associated with mental retardation, the availability of a DNA which spans this locus permits diagnosis and treatment of the related mental disorders. Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to an amino acid sequence encoded by SEQ ID NO:1, a DNA sequence from the Fragile X site, are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 1995
    Date of Patent: June 5, 2001
    Assignees: Women's and Children's Hospital, Washington University
