What Does CTG Stand For?
CTG stands for Trinucleotide Repeat
CTG, short for Trinucleotide Repeat, refers to a sequence of three nucleotides that is repeated multiple times within a gene. These repeats can vary in number among individuals and are associated with certain genetic conditions when they expand beyond a normal range. Trinucleotide repeats are important in the study of genetic stability, inheritance patterns, and the pathogenesis of several disorders, such as Huntington's disease and fragile X syndrome. Understanding CTG repeats is essential in molecular genetics and developmental biology.
