R-loops associated with triplet repeat expansions promote gene silencing in Friedreich ataxia and fragile X syndrome.
Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) and Fragile X syndrome (FXS) are among 40 diseases associated with expansion of repeated sequences (TREDs). Although their molecular pathology is not well understood, formation of repressive chromatin and unusual DNA structures over repeat regions were proposed to play a rol...
