[Dynamic mutation and its molecular cytogenetics].

Abstract excerpt

Dynamic mutation, the mechanism of allelic expansion of the heritable unstable triplet repeat DNA sequences, has been the subject of intense investigation since its discovery in 1991 as the molecular basis for fragile X syndrome. The fundamental distinction between dynamic and other forms of mutation is that dynamic mutation is a process rather than a single event. The process involves a relationship between the...
