Replication and Expansion of Trinucleotide Repeats in Yeast [PDF]
The mechanisms of trinucleotide repeat expansions, underlying more than a dozen hereditary neurological disorders, are yet to be understood. Here we looked at the replication of (CGG)(n) x (CCG)(n) and (CAG)(n) x (CTG)(n) repeats and their propensity to expand in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Trinucleotide repeat expansions catalyzed by human cell-free extracts [PDF]
Trinucleotide repeat expansions cause 17 heritable human neurological disorders. In some diseases, somatic expansions occur in non-proliferating tissues such as brain where DNA replication is limited. This finding stimulated significant interest in replication-independent expansion mechanisms.

Mismatch Repair Blocks Expansions of Interrupted Trinucleotide Repeats in Yeast [PDF]
Disease-causing expansions of trinucleotide repeats (TNRs) can occur very frequently. In contrast, expansions are rare if the TNR is interrupted (imperfect). The molecular mechanism stabilizing interrupted alleles and thereby preventing disease has been elusive.

More than 30 human disorders are caused by the expansion of simple sequence DNA repeats, among which triplet repeats remain the most frequent. Most trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders affect primarily the nervous system, through mechanisms of ...

Validation of methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction method and evaluation of FMR1 gene pre-mutations in premature ovarian insufficiency [PDF]
Background. Fragile X-associated premature ovarian insufficiency is clinically defined as a type of early ovarian failure with irregular menstrual cycles, increased follicle-stimulating hormone, premature menopause, and infertility.
