Abstract excerpt
Fragile X syndrome is caused by an expansion of the CGG repeat present in the 5' UTR of the FMR1 gene. A lot has been elucidated about the genetics of the disease, but not much is known about the mechanisms involved in repeat instability. Transgenic animals with a premutation allele [(CGG)11AGG(CGG)60CAG(CGG)8] in the human FMR1 promoter were generated to study the inheritance of this repeat in mice. Three...
