Gender of the embryo contributes to CAG instability in transgenic mice containing a Huntington's disease gene

Gender is known to influence the transmission of trinucleotide repeats in human disease. However, the molecular basis for the parent-of-origin effect associated with trinucleotide repeat expansion is not known. We have followed, during transmission, the fate of the CAG trinucleotide repeat in a tran...
