Preferred Label : DNA sequence, unstable;
MeSH definition : A region of DNA that is highly polymorphic and is prone to strand breaks, rearrangements
or other MUTATIONS because of the nature of its sequence. These regions often harbor
palindromic, or repetitive sequences (REPETITIVE SEQUENCES, NUCLEIC ACID). Variability
in stability of the DNA sequence is seen at CHROMOSOME FRAGILE SITES.;
MeSH synonym : sequences, unstable dna; unstable dna sequences; sequence, unstable dna; dna sequences, unstable; unstable dna sequence;
Origin ID : D043243;
UMLS CUI : C0600415;
