Somatic expansion of premutation alleles and the role of the mismatch repair and base excision repair proteins on repeat expansion in a mouse model of the fragile X-related disorders

The Fragile X-related disorders arise from an unusual mutation in the X-linked FMR1 gene. The mutation involves expansion, or an increase in the number of repeats, in a CGG•CCG repeat tract located in its 5' untranslated region. FMR1 alleles carrying 55-200 repeats are called Premutation (PM) allele...
