abstract：:Friedreich ataxia is commonly caused by large expansions of a GAA triplet-repeat (GAA-TR) sequence in the first intron of the FRDA gene. We used small-pool PCR to analyze somatic variability among 7190 individual FRDA molecules from peripheral blood DNA of subjects carrying 12 different expanded alleles, ranging in si...
