Sequence and size of the trinucleotide repeats in the cell lines studied
| Cell line | Myotonic dystrophy | Fragile X* | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sequence (CTG) | Size (no. of repeats) | Sequence (CGG) | Size (no. of repeats) | |
| HCT116+chr.3 was identical to HCT116 with the exception that the 11 CTG repeat allele was absent. | ||||
| *All cells are male and therefore contain a single fragile X syndrome allele. | ||||
