Correlation of CAG repeat length between the maternal and paternal allele of the Huntingtin gene: evidence for assortative mating.

Behavioral and brain functions : BBF - 18 Oct 2011

Abstract excerpt

Triplet repeats contribute to normal variation in behavioral traits and when expanded, cause brain disorders. While Huntington's Disease is known to be caused by a CAG triplet repeat in the gene Huntingtin, the effect of CAG repeats on brain function below disease threshold has not been studied. The current study shows a significant correlation between the CAG repeat length of the maternal and paternal allele in...
