Expanded trinucleotide CAG repeats in families with bipolar affective disorder
Clinical anticipation has been reported in bipolar affective disorder (BPAD). The hypothesis that expanded trinucleotide repeats are related to anticipation and transmission pattern in families with bipolar affective disorder is tested in this study ...

Instability at dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeats in breast cancer
We analyzed 7 mono-, 6 di- and 2 trinucleotide repeat loci in a well characterized series of 69 breast cancer cases, treated in the period 1985-1986 and followed for 12 years.

Trinucleotide Repeats Number in SCA2, SCA3, and SCA17 in Early-Onset Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Abnormal expansion of trinucleotide repeats in genes causing spinocerebellar ataxias such as SCA2, SCA3, SCA8, or SCA17 was reported in sporadic or familial Parkinson's disease. Genetic factors play an important role especially in early-onset

Huntington disease: DNA analysis in brazilian population
Huntington disease (HD) is associated with expansions of a CAG trinucleotide repeat in the HD gene. Accurate measurement of a specific CAG repeat sequence in the HD gene in 92 Brazilian controls without HD, 44 Brazilian subjects with clinical findings ...

Bias in the genomic distribution of CAG and CTG trinucleotide repeats
We investigated the hypothesis that the trinucleotide repeat CAG is disproportionately located in exons in genomic DNA by analyzing unbiased genomic sequences with the Gene Recognition and Analysis Internet Link program (http@avalon.epm.ornl.gov/). Forty

Exclusion of expansion of 50 CAG/CTG trinucleotide repeats in bipolar disorder
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify the specific expanded CAG/CTG trinucleotide repeat associated with bipolar disorder. METHOD: The study employed an efficient multistage approach for using a genomic CAG/CTG screening set. RESULTS:
