A MutSβ-Dependent Contribution of MutSα to Repeat Expansions in Fragile X Premutation Mice?

The fragile X-related disorders result from expansion of a CGG/CCG microsatellite in the 5' UTR of the FMR1 gene. We have previously demonstrated that the MSH2/MSH3 complex, MutSβ, that is important for mismatch repair, is essential for almost all expansions in a mouse model of these disorders....
