Sequence variants affecting the genome-wide rate of germline microsatellite mutations

Sequence variants affecting the genome-wide rate of germline microsatellite mutations

Abstract Microsatellites are polymorphic tracts of short tandem repeats with one to six base-pair (bp) motifs and are some of the most polymorphic variants in the genome. Using 6084 Icelandic parent-offspring trios we estimate 63.7 (95% CI: 61.9–65.4) microsatellite de novo mutations (mDNMs) per off...
