Abstract excerpt
The genetic mutation underlying Huntington's disease (HD) has been identified as an expansion and instability of a specific CAG repeat sequence in a gene (IT15) on chromosome 4. We have investigated the relation of the phenotype of HD to this molecular defect and assessed the feasibility of HD mutation analysis in diagnosis and prediction. Analysis of DNA from 449 HD patients (351 familial and 98 apparently...
