Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is associated with an increased number of CTG repeats in the 3 untranslated region of the myotonin gene. Because DM has been observed less frequently in Ashkenazic Jews and non-Jews than in North African and Yemenite Jews in Israel, a study of the CTG repeat polymorphism was
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
We extend the spectrum of phenotypes caused by mutations in the Wnt/Norrin coreceptor low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) by identifying two novel types of mutation in related individuals whose presenting features were profound muscle hypotonia, mild mental retardation, blindne
