Abstract excerpt
We report a group of 252 patients with a Huntington's disease-like (HDL) phenotype, including 60 with typical Huntington's disease, who had tested negative for pathological expansions in the IT15 gene, the major mutation in Huntington's disease. They were screened for repeat expansions in two other genes involved in HDL phenotypes: those encoding the junctophilin-3 (JPH3/HDL2) and prion (PRNP/HDL1) proteins. In...
