Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the polymorphic (CAG)n repeat in the huntingtin gene within the Chinese population in Taiwan confirmed the presence of an expanded repeat on all Huntington's disease (HD) chromosomes. Measurement of the specific CAG repeat sequence in 35 HD chromosomes from 11 unrelated families and 159 control chromosomes showed a range of from 9 to 29 (with a median of 17) repeats in normal subjects and 40 to 58...
