Abstract excerpt

Huntington's disease (HD) is associated with an expanded unstable (CAG)n repeat in the IT15 gene. This repeat was investigated in 44 HD patients and 59 of their relatives at risk who were members of 29 unrelated families from various parts of Greece. Abnormal elongation of the (CAG)n repeat ranging from 39 to 95 trinucleotide units was found in all but one of the 44 HD patients tested with 70% of these patients...
