Mouse models of triplet repeat diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Since their discovery in 1991, triplet repeat mutations have been found to be the cause of genomic fragile sites, two of which are linked to mental retardation, myotonic dystrophy, and several late-onset neurodegenerative diseases. In all cases, these mutations exhibit gametic and/or somatic instability once they have expanded into the mutant range. The mutations are located in coding and noncoding gene regions...
