• Genome instability: a mechanistic view of its causes and consequences (2008, background): “Fragile sites are usually associated with trinucleotide repeats (TNRs) of the type CGG–CCG, CAG–CTG, GAA–TTC and GCN–NGC, with specific G-rich tetra- to dodecanucleotide repeats or with long AT-rich repeats, such as the 33 or 42 minisatellites of the FRA16B and FRA10B common fragile site”
• Chromatin replication and epigenome maintenance (2012, background): “Because trinucleotide repeats are prone to form hairpin secondary structures and interfere with replicatio”
