Abstract excerpt
A common mechanism for chromosomal fragile site genesis is not yet apparent. Folate-sensitive fragile sites are expanded p(CCG)n repeats that arise from longer normal alleles. Distamycin A or bromodeoxyuridine-inducible fragile site FRA16B is an expanded AT-rich approximately 33 bp repeat; however, the relationship between normal and fragile site alleles is not known. Here, we report that...
