Unstable genes--unstable mind?

The American journal of psychiatry - 1 Feb 1995

Petronis A, Kennedy J L

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Over the past 3 years, reports of DNA alteration in myotonic dystrophy, fragile X syndrome (types A and E), Kennedy's disease, Huntington's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia type 1, and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy have identified a new class of human mutation, referred to as trinucleotide repeat amplification. All available evidence suggests that this unstable trinucleotide repeat DNA is the...
