Abstract excerpt
The mutation responsible for Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) has been identified as an expansion of a CAG trinucleotide repeat in a novel gene on chromosome 14q32.1. The CAG repeat tract is followed by C or G, and alleles are thereby divided into two types on the basis of molecular configuration, (C...
