Abstract excerpt
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a drug-induced syndrome of involuntary movements often associated with neuroleptic treatment of psychiatric conditions. Huntington's disease (HD) and other neurological conditions are caused by CAG nucleotide repeat expansions in specific genes. We, therefore, explore the hypothesis that TD may be related to CAG repeat expansion by using the repeat expansion detection (RED) method as a...
