Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the predisposing background for the instability of CAG expansions of the HTT gene in a Chinese population. METHODS: Genotyping and haplotyping of CAG and CCG repeats of the HTT gene were carried out in 32 unrelated HD patients and 95 non-HD control individuals of Han origin, using capillary electrophoresis and DNA sequencing. The frequencies of different CCG repeats were compared between...
