Distribution of insertion and deletion of repeat-unit mutations among all 1058 observed mutations. Approximately 40% of all mutations could be explained by a simple insertion of a single repeat-unit in one of the germline alleles. Insertion mutations were more frequently observed than deletion mutations (79 vs 21%). No obvious differences were seen between cases and controls.
