Genetic Instability: How Triplet Repeats Shape Our Minds

Trinucleotide Repeat Disorders Introduction to Trinucleotide Repeats Trinucleotide repeats (TNRs), sometimes referred to as triplet repeats, represent a unique class of genetic sequences characterized by the tandem repetition of a specific three-nucleotide motif. These sequences are pervasive throughout the human genome, occurring in both coding and non-coding regions. Examples of such motifs include CAG, which […]
