Abstract:

Short tandem repeat (STR) is a component of the human genome, the number of repeats of STR is prone to change during DNA replication, and when it exceeds a certain threshold, it will lead to the occurrence of diseases, most of which involve the nervous system. With the rapid development and wide application of the third generation long read long sequencing technology, more and more neuromuscular diseases have been confirmed to be related to STR variation. This article reviews the clinical and mechanism research progress on STR-related neuromuscular diseases, so as to provide guidance for clinical research.

摘要:

短串联重复序列(STR)是人类基因组的构成部分,其重复次数易在DNA复制过程中发生变化,当重复次数超过一定阈值时可导致疾病的发生,其中大多数累及神经系统。随着第三代长读长测序技术的迅速发展和广泛应用,越来越多的神经肌肉病被证实与STR异常扩增有关。本文综述STR相关神经肌肉病的临床和机制研究进展,以为临床研究提供指导。
