Gene - 11 Dec 1998

Abstract excerpt
Trinucleotide repeats in several human genes have been found to undergo spontaneous variation in repeat numbers in succeeding generations. Expansion of the repeat beyond a certain length causes specific pathological disorders. So far, a naturally occurring triplet repeat instability of transcribed sequences has been reported only from humans. However, the signal peptide encoding region of the receptor tyrosine...
