重复单位为AGGGTTCTTAAGTGTC, 表示为(AGGGTTCTTAA基因G组T的G结T构C与功)n能(分子生物学))
微卫星DNA:是由短的重复单元序列串联构成的 重复序列,重复单元一般为1~6bp,重复次数10~60次 左右,重复序列长度一般小于150bp。
如(AC)n

不同的生物体,其基因组的大小和复杂 程度 各不相同
进化程度越高的生物其基因组越复杂

Fragile syndrome
the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 Gene (FMR1) trinucleotide repetitive sequence (CGG) expansion
基因组的结构与功能(分子生物学))
many CGG tandem repeats in the 5’UTR Normal individuals have 5 to 50 CGG repeats FXS carriers have 53-200 repeats (premutation) Premutation does not cause mental retardation, but there is a high risk when it is passed to the next generation through a female Affected individuals have more than 230 repeats (full mutation) In the full mutation, the FMR1 gene is “shut off” and prevents the production of the FMR1 protein, which is considered important for brain development Girls are only carriers of the disorder, so they show less severe effects
