Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Huntington disease (HD) is a fatal autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by an unstable expansion of the CAG trinucleotide repeat in exon 1 of the HTT (huntingtin) gene and typically has an adult onset. Molecular diagnosis and screening for HD currently involve separate amplification and detection steps. METHODS: We evaluated a novel, rapid microplate-based screening method for HD that...
