Question 14 Friedreich's ataxia is a rare inherited disease that causes nervous system damage and movement problems. It usually begins in childhood and leads to impaired muscle coordination (ataxia) that worsens over time. Friedreich's ataxia is caused by an insertion of several copies of a three nucleotide sequence in a gene called FXN. Which genetic testing method would be most appropriate for testing for Freidreich's ataxia? PCR with gel electrophoresis O PCR with conventional sequencing O PCR with SNP-chip O PCR with whole-g e-genome sequencing
