An Unstable Trinucleotide-Repeat Region on Chromosome 13 Implicated in Spinocerebellar Ataxia: A Common Expansion Locus

Larger CAG/CTG trinucleotide-repeat tracts in individuals affected with schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) in comparison with control individuals have previously been reported, implying a possible etiological role for trinucleotide repeats in these diseases. Two unstable CAG/C...
