Does tellmeGen detect fragile X syndrome or other repeat expansions?

Updated on

No. Repeat expansions, such as the expansion in the FMR1 gene associated with fragile X syndrome, cannot be reliably measured using either Starter and Advanced chips or Ultra's short-read sequencing, so they are not included in the reports. 

If you are concerned about a condition of this kind, consult your doctor: specific tests are available to investigate them.
