History of genetic disease: the molecular genetics of Huntington disease - a history.

Abstract excerpt

The Huntington disease gene was mapped to human chromosome 4p in 1983 and 10 years later the pathogenic mutation was identified as a CAG-repeat expansion. Our current understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of Huntington disease could never have been achieved without the recent progress in the field of molecular genetics. We are now equipped with powerful genetic models that continue to uncover new aspects of...
