In several neurodegenerative diseases, anticipation or increase in disease severity in succeeding generations within families correlates with expansions of an intragenic CAG/CTG repeat sequence above the normal range through the generations of a pedigree. Some kindreds of familial Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibit genetic anticipation. We used the repeat expansion detection (RED) method to detect repeat expansions...
