  • Nucleic acid size detection method
    Patent number: 8697399
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of determining the size of a particular nucleic acid segment of interest in a sample of nucleic acids through fragmentation of DNA, size fractionation, an optional second fragmentation, and identification using a marker sequence. In particular aspects, an expansion or reduction of tandem repeat sequences can be detected. In further aspects, carriers and individuals afflicted with fragile X syndrome or other diseases associated with tandem repeats can be distinguished from normal individuals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 11, 2007
    Date of Patent: April 15, 2014
    Assignees: Quest Diagnostics Investments Incorporated, US Genomics, Inc.
    Inventors: Donghui Huang, Charles M. Strom, Steven J. Potts, Jenny Ellen Rooke
