premutation

(pre?mu-ta'shun) A sequence of multiply repeated nucleotides that may produce a disease in one's offspring but may not produce clinically apparent disease in the carrier. A common premutation occurs in the Fragile X syndrome, in which ancestors of affected children may have 50 — 200 copies of the trinucleotide sequence CGG. These individuals do not have the full phenotypic expression of the Fragile X syndrome but as adults may suffer Parkinson-like movement disorders such as ataxia and tremors. Synonym: intermediate allele

Premutation

A change in a gene that precedes a mutation; this change does not alter the function of the gene.Mentioned in: Fragile X Syndrome
