dc.description.abstract | In the present study, we evaluated a commercially available TP-PCR-based assay, the FastFraX™ FMR1 Sizing kit, as a test in quantifying the number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene. Based on testing with well characterized DNA samples from Coriell, the kit yielded size results within 3 repeats of those obtained by common consensus (n = 14), with the exception of one allele. Furthermore, based on data obtained using all Coriell samples with or without common consensus (n = 29), the Sizing kit was 97.5% in agreement with existing approaches. Additionally, the kit generated consistent size information in repeatability and reproducibility studies (CV 0.39% to 3.42%). Clinical performance was established with 198 archived clinical samples, yielding results of 100% sensitivity (95% CI, 91.03% to 100%) and 100% specificity (95% CI, 97.64% to 100%) in categorizing patient samples into the respective normal, intermediate, premutation and full mutation genotypes. © 2017 Lim et al.
