Analysis of Triplet Repeat Disorders is aimed at clinicians and scientists who work with these diseases or who have an interest in the field. Using the clinical picture of these diseases as a starting point, the book reviews and integrates the current understanding of their molecular pathologies, the genotype-phenotype relationships, the mutational processes of trinucleotide repeats, and the laboratory and clinical issues relating to genetic testing for these disorders.
