Abstract excerpt
In vitro studies in bacterial, yeast and eukaryotic systems have demonstrated the existence of deletion and insertion 'hot-spots' involving repetitive sequences. Slipped-strand mispairing (SSM) has been suggested to be the mechanism involved. Progress in human molecular genetics has allowed the identification of many mutations causing diseases. Analysis of sequences involved in these mutations provides an...
