Trinucleotide repeat length and rate of progression of Huntington's disease
1 Oct 1994
Abstract excerpt
The Huntington's disease gene contains an expanded unstable (CAG)n repeat, and the repeat lengths have been shown to correlate with the age of onset. Using detailed clinical scales, we evaluated the rate of progression of Huntington's disease and its relationship to the number of triplet repeats. We found significant positive correlation between the rate of progression of clinical symptoms (both neurological and...
