-- Many unstable microsatellites are characterized by presenting cytosine nucleotides in their repeat units, adopting alternative DNA structures and, in some cases, are involved in methylation processes. Triplet sequences genotyping by PCR methodology is based on DNA denaturation and amplification of the unstable microsatellite. However, due to alternative structures adopted by microsatellites, denaturation and amplification processes are inefficient. This thesis developed an alternative PCR genotyping method for cytosine rich sequences (methylated and unmethylated) based on nucleotide modification. After appropriate informed consent, the FMR1 gene from 8 healthy subjects (four male and four female) was modified with sodium bisulfite. Subsequently, using bioinformatics tools, we performed: 1) simulation of alternative structures of the unstable microsatellite in the 5’-UTR region of the gene. 2) After localization of the CpG islands, we generated specific primers which hybridize with the modified microsatellite (Primers T) and specific primers that hybridize to a new sequence of the FMR1 gene containing CpG islands (Primers M). Finally, both of these sequences were amplified by PCR. Modified DNA was obtained after chemical treatment with sodium bisulfite. Alternative structures of the sequence of the microsatellite were characterized. CpG islands of the gene, that can be methylated, were identified. Amplification confirmed expected results obtained previously by bioinformatics analysis. The T primers amplified the modified microsatellite of the FMR1 gene. The M primers amplified the modified sequence containing the CpG Island of the gene. In conclusion, we developed a potential alternative genotyping method for amplification of microsatellite sequences carrying methylated and unmethylated cytosine Further studies are needed in DNA samples from individual with abnormally expanded microsatellites both methylated and unmethylated to validate clinical application. -- Key words: methylation, nucleotide modification, triplet repeats
