Abstract excerpt
We correlated trinucleotide CAG repeat numbers in the huntingtin gene with the regional brain atrophy and clinical phenotype in 23 adult autopsy cases of Huntington's disease (HD). CAG repeat number (39-56, mean 45.4 +/- 4.6) correlated inversely (P < 0.0001) with age at onset and death, but not...
