Abstract excerpt
Trinucleotide (CAG) repeat expansions longer than 39 in the huntingtin (HTT) gene cause Huntington's disease (HD). The frequency of intermediate alleles (IA) with a length of 27-35 in the general population is not fully known, but studied in specific materials connected to the incidence of HD. The Swedish Huntingtin Alleles and Phenotype (SHAPE) study aims to assess the frequency of trinucleotide repeat...
