Abstract excerpt
The age at onset of Huntington disease (HD) shows a strong, negative correlation with the number of CAG repeats within the huntingtin (HTT) gene. However, this does not account for all the inter-individual variability seen among patients. In order to assess whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the OGG1 and XPC genes, both implicated in responses to oxidative stress, are associated with the age of...
