Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: NOTCH2NLC-related neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by abnormal expansions of GGC repeats in the NOTCH2NLC gene. Traditional genetic testing relies on blood samples, which can be invasive. This study investigated the feasibility of using non-invasive saliva samples for detecting GGC repeat expansions in NIID patients. METHODS: Twenty-four NIID...
