The role of break-induced replication in large-scale expansions of (CAG)(n)•(CTG)(n) repeats

Expansions of (CAG)(n)•(CTG)(n) trinucleotide repeats are responsible for over a dozen neuromuscular and neurodegenerative disorders. Large-scale expansions are typical for human pedigrees and may be explained by iterative small-scale events such as strand slippage during replication or repair DNA s...
