Recurrent mutations in haemophilia A give evidence for CpG mutation hotspots

TL;DR: Two different point mutations in exon 18 and exon 22 of haemophilia A that have recurred independently in unrelated families are identified, and these observations strongly support the view that CpG dinucleotides are mutation hotspots.
Journal ArticleDOI

The polydeoxyadenylate tract of Alu repetitive elements is polymorphic in the human genome.

TL;DR: This novel class of polymorphisms, termed AluVpA [Alu variable poly(A], may represent one of the most useful and informative group of DNA markers in the human genome.
Book ChapterDOI

The nature and mechanisms of human gene mutation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe mechanisms of gene deletion and the DNA sequences that may predispose to such lesions, as well as potential mechanisms underlying insertions, duplications, or inversions, with representative examples.
