[i] Expectations calculated on the basis of motif frequencies (codons in the case of trinucleotide coding repeats and arbitrary codons assigned starting with the first base in the case of noncoding trinucleotide repeats. Observed values used in these calculations were made only for in-frame repeats (codon repeats).
