- Trinucleotide repeat disorders, also known as microsatellite expansion diseases, are a set of over 50 genetic disorders caused by trinucleotide repeat expansion, a kind of mutation in which repeats of three nucleotides (trinucleotide repeats) increase in copy numbers until they cross a threshold above which they cause developmental, neurological or neuromuscular disorders.

- The first main category these authors discuss is repeat expansions located within the promoter region of a gene or located close to, but upstream of, a promoter region of a gene. (wikipedia.org)
- There is often increased methylation at CpG islands near the repeat region, resulting in a closed chromatin state, causing gene downregulation. (wikipedia.org)
- In the present study, genes across the 2q24-q33 interval were analyzed to identify an autism susceptibility gene in this region. (neurotransmitter.net)
- We hypothesize that there might be at least three types of autism susceptibility genes/mutations that can be (i) specific to an individual patient or family, (ii) in a genetically isolated sub-population and (iii) a common factor shared amongst different populations. (neurotransmitter.net)

- This graph shows the total number of publications written about "DNA Repeat Expansion" by people in UAMS Profiles by year, and whether "DNA Repeat Expansion" was a major or minor topic of these publications. (uams.edu)
- Below are the most recent publications written about "DNA Repeat Expansion" by people in Profiles over the past ten years. (uams.edu)
- Some carriers, during the formation of eggs or sperm, may give rise to higher levels of repetition of the repeat they carry. (wikipedia.org)
- In general, the larger the expansion the faster the onset of disease, and the more severe the disease becomes. (wikipedia.org)
- Trinucleotide repeats are a subset of a larger class of unstable microsatellite repeats that occur throughout all genomes. (wikipedia.org)
- In addition, these CP genomes showed variation in their inverted repeat regions (IR). (biomedcentral.com)
- Most plastidic genomes have four regions, namely large single copy region (LSC, 80 Kb), small single copy region (SSC, 20 kb) and two inverted repeat regions (IR, 25 kb). (ijbiotech.com)
- Many regions of the genome (exons, introns, intergenic regions) normally contain trinucleotide sequences, or repeated sequences of one particular nucleotide, or sequences of 2, 4, 5 or 6 nucleotides. (wikipedia.org)
- Conclusions: Amongst all plastidic genes only 18 genes appeared to have 1-2 introns and when compared with cpDNA of two cultivated allotetraploid, rps18 was the only duplicated gene in G.thurberi. (ijbiotech.com)
- Chloroplast genome sizes vary slightly due to expansion and contraction of the IR region. (biomedcentral.com)
- Objectives: Present study was conducted to study and compare the complete chloroplast sequence of G. thurberi, analyses of its genome structure, gene content and organization, repeat sequence and codon usage and comparison with two cultivated allotetraploid sequenced cotton species. (ijbiotech.com)
- In this study, we searched the human genome reference sequence and annotated exons (exome) for the presence of uninterrupted triplet repeat tracts composed of six or more repeated units. (nih.gov)
- A total of 114 unique genes, distributed in 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs, were annotated in each of the Ficus CP genome. (biomedcentral.com)
- Tandem repeats and mononucleotide simple sequence repeat (SSR) are widely distributed across the Ficus CP genome. (biomedcentral.com)
- The map of genome structure and gene distribution were carried out using OGDRAW V1.1. (ijbiotech.com)
- The plastidic genome has 113 single genes and 20 duplicated genes. (ijbiotech.com)
- Chloroplasts have low mutation rate with great deal of conservation in their genome size and structure, gene content and organization. (ijbiotech.com)
- Few differences have been reported in the same species, but significant differences could be detected between the different species in genome size and gene orientation (5). (ijbiotech.com)
- The result is that CpGs are relatively rare unless there is selective pressure to keep them or a region is not methylated for some other reason, perhaps having to do with the regulation of gene expression. (ucsc.edu)
- In this second type of disorder, large repeat expansions in DNA are transcribed into pathogenic RNAs that form nuclear RNA foci. (wikipedia.org)
- The third main category of trinucleotide repeat disorders and related microsatellite disorders is due to the translation of repeat sequenced into pathogenic proteins containing a stretch of repeated amino acids. (wikipedia.org)
- Trinucleotide repeat disorders, also known as microsatellite expansion diseases, are a set of over 50 genetic disorders caused by trinucleotide repeat expansion, a kind of mutation in which repeats of three nucleotides (trinucleotide repeats) increase in copy numbers until they cross a threshold above which they cause developmental, neurological or neuromuscular disorders.

- The epigenetic alterations and their effects are described more fully by Barbé and Finkbeiner These authors cite evidence that the age at which an individual begins to experience symptoms, as well as the severity of disease, is determined both by the size of the repeat and the epigenetic state within the repeat and around the repeat.
