Rapid Fragile X Carrier Screening and Prenatal Diagnosis Using a Nonradioactive PCR Test
JAMA 270:1569-1575, Brown,W.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This rapid,nonradioactive PCR protocol allows accurate resolution of normal alleles as well as simultaneous detection of carrier alleles and full mutations.With this approach,efficient screening of pregnant women at risk for fragile X carrier status,subsequent genetic counseling of identified carriers,and reliable prenatal diagnosis can be offered.
