To identify the genetic modifier(s) that might alter the age at onset in Huntington's disease (HD) we have analyzed variations in GluR6 kainate receptor (GluR6), CA150 gene, Delta2642 and polymorphic CCG repeat variation in huntingtin (htt) gene in 77 HD patients and normal individuals. In addition, variation in the RAI1 gene was analyzed in 30 spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA2) patients and normal individuals to show...
