Epidemiology of Huntington disease.

Handbook of clinical neurology - 1 Jan 2017

Kay Chris, Hayden Michael R, Leavitt Blair R

Abstract excerpt

Huntington disease (HD) is an autosomal-dominant neurologic disorder caused by an expanded CAG trinucleotide repeat mutation in patients with characteristic motor signs and specific brain pathology. A repeat of 36 CAG or more can lead to the disease, with increased penetrance and decreased age of onset at longer CAG repeats. The epidemiology of HD thus depends on ascertainment of individuals with the expanded CAG...
