Heritable trinucleotide repeats and neurological disorders.

Abstract excerpt

In the past 3 years, seven human neurological disorders have been found to be associated with an abnormal number of unstable trinucleotide repeats within exons or non-expressed regions of a gene. These forms of mutations are called dynamic mutations. The expansion in copy number of trinucleotide repeats may represent a large number of hereditary disorders. The correlation between the length of the repeated size...
