Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors underlie the pathological processes that cause the manifestation of a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases. The pathological expansion of unstable trinucleotide repeats is known to lead monogenic neurological diseases such as Huntington's disease, Kennedy's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia, and others. However, the latest data suggests individuals with intermediate allele (IA) repeat length...
