Folate Deficiency Triggers the Abnormal Segregation of a Region With Large Cluster of CG-Rich Trinucleotide Repeats on Human Chromosome 2

Folate deficiency is associated with a broad range of human disorders, including anemia, fetal neural tube defects, age-associated dementia and several types of cancer. It is well established that a subgroup of rare fragile sites (RFSs) containing expanded CGG trinucleotide repeat (TNR) sequences di...
