摘要
The phenomenon of genetic anticipation, the progression of severity of an inherited disorder in successive generations, has not had a biologic explanation until recently. A new mutational mechanism of unstable trinucleotide (or triplet) tandem repeats in human genes has provided such an explanation. Several neurologic disorders including fragile X syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, Huntington's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia type 1, spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, and FRAXE mental retardation, are caused by this type of mutation. A recent approach to identifying expanded repeats may simplify the process of finding candidate genes for other disorders that show features suggestive of anticipation.
