Abstract excerpt
Repeat Expansion Detection (RED) is an efficient and simple method for detecting repeat expansions in the human genome, including expansion mutations resulting in disease. Here we report the first population survey of CTG/CAG repeat lengths in humans using the RED method; we have determined maximum CTG/CAG repeat length in 244 individuals from six human populations: Danes, Chinese, Japanese, Rondonian Surui, Maya...
