MSH2 and fragile X syndrome: Here, we investigated the role of MSH2 in aberrant DNA methylation in two additional REDs, fragile X syndrome (FXS) that is caused by a CGG repeat expansion in the 5’ untranslated region (UTR) of the Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene, and Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) that is caused by a GAA repeat expansion in intron 1 of the frataxin (FXN) gene.
