Isolated short CTG/CAG DNA slip-outs are repaired efficiently by hMutSbeta, but clustered slip-outs are poorly repaired
Expansions of CTG/CAG trinucleotide repeats, thought to involve slipped DNAs at the repeats, cause numerous diseases including myotonic dystrophy and Huntington's disease. By unknown mechanisms, further repeat expansions in transgenic mice carrying expanded CTG/CAG tracts require the mismatch r...
