MEWIGEN Repeat Expansion

Please find our various analysis services below

MEWIGEN offers the detection of abnormal expansions in repetitive sequences for repeat disorders by fluorescence-based fragment length analyses and, if indicated due to the possibility of very long expansions, repeat-primed PCR. Sequencing is performed if the composition of the repeat (interruptions) is clinically relevant. The turnaround time is about 3 weeks.
