    Glossary GGN Repeats

    specific DNA sequence repeated within certain genes

    GGN repeats refer to a specific sequence of nucleotides (guanine-guanine-nucleotide) that are repeated multiple times within a gene. These repeats can influence the function of the gene and are often studied in the context of genetic disorders and variations. For example, variations in the number of GGN repeats in the androgen receptor gene can affect its activity and have been linked to conditions like androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness).
