Abstract excerpt
CAG repeats coding for poly-glutamines have been studied by many groups as repeat length variations contributes to differences in protein function and disease outcome. In this study, we systematically searched public databases for genes carrying CAG repeats. For the genes obtained, we experimentally analyzed variations of length and the purity of the repeats in 62 loci among 16 inbred mouse strains, including...
