Abstract excerpt
CAG repeats are present in numerous human transcripts but neither their structures nor physiological functions have been satisfactorily recognized. The expanded CAG repeats are present in transcripts from several mutant genes associated with hereditary neurodegenerative diseases but their contribution to pathogenesis has not been documented convincingly. Here, we show that the structures formed by the repeats and...
