Population genetics of the FRAXE and FRAXF GCC repeats, and a novel CGG repeat, in Xq28.
- Abstract:
-
Most of the rare folate sensitive fragile sites cloned to date arise from expansion of a CGG:CCG trinucleotide repeat array. Analysis of the CAG repeat at the Huntington Disease (HD) locus showed a positively skewed repeat distribution leading to the proposal that microsatellites are subject to a mutational bias toward expansion. Such a mutational bias predicts an increase in mean repeat size at all microsatellite loci. We present an analysis of repeats at two fragile site loci, FRAXE and FRA...
