Question
Can the type of TG repeat in IVS85T be determined by a blood test?

Many thanks.
Answer
Dear questioner,

the length of the TG repeat in a TG variant can be examined by a blood test (5 ml EDTA blood). This is, for example, done routinely at the Institute of Human Genetics in Hannover, Germany.

Kind regards
