Abstract excerpt
Since 1991, several genetic disorders caused by unstable trinucleotide repeats (TNRs) have been identified, collectively referred to as triplet repeat diseases (TREDs). They share a common mutation mechanism: the expansion of repeats (dynamic mutations) due to the propensity of repeated sequences to form unusual DNA structures during replication. TREDs are characterized as neurodegenerative diseases or complex...
