Abstract excerpt
Reports of single base-pair substitutions that cause human genetic disease and that have been located and characterized in an unbiased fashion were collated; 32% of point mutations were CG----TG or CG----CA transitions consistent with a chemical model of mutation via methylation-mediated deamination. This represents a 12-fold higher frequency than that predicted from random expectation, confirming that CG...
