Tandemly repeated DNA sequences with a repeat sequence of one to six base pairs-for example, (GACA) n -are called microsatellites and are common in eukaryotes. A particular subset of such sequences, the trinucleotide repeat, is of great interest because of the role such repeats play in human neurodegenerative disorders (Huntington disease, myotonic dystrophy, spinal-bulbar muscular atrophy, spinocerebellar ataxia, and fragile-X syndrome). Following are data (modified from Toth et al., 2000) regarding the location of microsatellites within and between genes. What general conclusions can be drawn from these data?
