Expansions of unstable trinucleotide repeats cause at least 15 inherited neurologic diseases. Here we review what has been learned of three neuromuscular diseases caused by this type of mutation. X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy is a motor neuronopathy caused by a CAG repeat expansion in

The repeat expansion detection (RED) method was described to detect expansions of trinucleotide repeats of unknown chromosomal location. We have improved the RED method by the use of 8-mer oligonucleotides and assessed its usefulness in 30 samples from patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SC

The expansion of DNA triplet repeats has been shown to be responsible for about a dozen hereditary diseases. In this paper we are concerned with a computer model of such expansion, applied to the fragile X syndrome and Huntington's disease, for which enough quantitative data have been collected. The
