Mitotic and meiotic stability of the CAG repeat in the X‐linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy gene
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) occurs due to an expansion of the trinucleotide repeat (CAG)n in the androgen receptor gene. Anticipation is relatively rare in SBMA in contrast to spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCAl), and dentatorubral and pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) which show obvious paternal anticipation. The differences in the CAG repeat number were compared among sperm, leukocytes and...
