Genetic variation and evolutionary stability of the FMR1 CGG repeat in six closed human populations.

American journal of medical genetics - 12 Jul 1996

Eichler E E, Nelson D L

Abstract excerpt

In an attempt to understand the allelic diversity and mutability of the human FMR1 CGG repeat, we have analyzed the AGG substructure of this locus within six genetically-closed populations (Mbuti pygmy, Baka pygmy, R. surui, Karitiana, Mayan, and Hutterite). Most alleles (61/92 or 66%) possessed two AGG interspersions occurring with a periodicity of one AGG every nine or ten CGG repeats, indicating that this...
