Abstract excerpt
Age of onset of Huntington's disease (HD) statistically correlates with the length of expanded CAG repeats in the IT15 gene. However, other factors such as polymorphism in the 3' untranslated region of the GluR6 kainate receptor gene subunit may contribute to variability in the age at onset. To investigate this issue, we studied the motor disorder and related striatal damage induced by 3-nitropropionic acid...
