Trinucleotide Repeats: Mechanisms and Pathophysiology
Abstract
Within the closing decade of the twentieth century, 14 neurological disorders were shown to result from the expansion of unstable trinucleotide repeats, establishing this once unique mutational mechanism as the basis of an expanding class of diseases. Trinucleotide repeat diseases can be categorized into two subclasses based on the location of the trinucleotide repeats: diseases involving noncoding repeats (untranslated sequences) and diseases involving repeats within coding sequences (exonic). The large body of knowledge accumulating in this fast moving field has provided exciting clues and inspired many unresolved questions about the pathogenesis of diseases caused by expanded trinucleotide repeats. This review summarizes the current understanding of the molecular pathology of each of these diseases, starting with a clinical picture followed by a focused description of the disease genes, the proteins involved, and the studies that have lent insight into their pathophysiology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
