FA:

-fragile X is a/w chromosomal breakage

UW:

- fragile X is NOT a/w chromosomal breakage


who's got it right?

thanks
 
I didn't look this up or anything but this is what I remember from biochemistry last year.

Fragile X doesn't mean you will always see the chromosomal breakage. The chromosomal breakage occurs if you grow the cells in a low folate environment, with little dTTP.

Also, what kind of abbreviation is a/w ?
