Abstract
The recent cloning of several disease genes has identified the instability of trinucleotide repeats as a fundamental mechanism for variation within the human genome. This mutation mechanism explains the unique inheritance characteristics of the diseases it causes, and there is a significant potential that this mechanism is involved in the pathogenesis of other, as yet uncharacterized, genetic diseases.Entities:
