Did you mean CAG Repeat Polymorphism?

GlossaryCAG Repeats (CAG Repeat Polymorphism)

repeated DNA sequences of cytosine, adenine, and guanine

CAG repeats refer to sequences of three DNA nucleotides—cytosine, adenine, and guanine—that are repeated multiple times in a row within a gene. These repeats can expand abnormally in certain genetic disorders, such as Huntington's disease, leading to the production of malfunctioning proteins and subsequent cellular damage.
