Abstract excerpt
A highly polymorphic CAG repeat locus, ERDA1, was recently described on human chromosome 17q21.3, with alleles as large as 50-90 repeats and without any disease association in the general population. We have studied allelic distribution at this locus in five human populations and have characterized the mutational patterns by direct observation of 731 meioses. The data show that large alleles (>/=40 CAG repeats)...
