Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Huntington's disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited disease caused by a CAG expansion mutation in HTT. The age at onset of clinical symptoms is determined primarily by the length of this CAG expansion but is also influenced by other genetic and/or environmental factors. OBJECTIVE: Recently, through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) aimed at discovering genetic modifiers, we identified loci...
