The code sequence withing the DNA strand are read and the number of times the C A and G (cytosine-adenine- guanine) repeat in the strand tell them if you in the normal range of repeats or not. See this website for a better understanding and it also has a chart. My CAG repeats were 49 (see chart) http://mostgene.org/gd/gdvol14g.htm I hope this helps |
