(C(2)G(4))(n) repeat expansion sequences from the C9orf72 gene form an unusual DNA higher-order structure in the pH range of 5-6

Massive expansion of a DNA hexanucleotide sequence repeat (C(2)G(4)) within the human C9orf72 gene has been linked to a number of neurodegenerative diseases. In sodium or potassium salt solutions, single-stranded d(C(2)G(4))(n) DNAs fold to form G-quadruplexes. We have found that in magnesium or lit...
