Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is driven by somatic expansion of the HTT CAG repeat, with onset modified by genetic factors. One such modifier, 8AM1, maps to chromosome 8 near RRM2B, a gene not directly involved in the machinery that lengthens the repeat. To investigate this locus, we performed capture sequencing and identified variants at both the 5' and 3' ends of RRM2B with expected minor allele frequencies. A...
