Mutational mechanism for DAB1 (ATTTC) n insertion in SCA37: ATTTT repeat lengthening and nucleotide substitution

Dynamic mutations by microsatellite instability are the molecular basis of a growing number of neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases. Repetitive stretches in the human genome may drive pathogenicity, either by expansion above a given threshold, or by insertion of abnormal tracts in nonpathoge...
