Abstract excerpt
Precise measurement of germline repeat number mutations is important for understanding the molecular etiology of expanded trinucleotide repeat diseases. We used single genome-equivalent PCR of sperm DNA to measure the mutation frequencies in two lines of Dmt transgenic mice containing an expanded CTG.CAG tract on an identical genetic background. Single genome-equivalent PCR indicated that apparent mutational...
