OBJECTIVES: To evaluate possible influences of CCG and delta2642 glutamic acid polymorphisms adjacent to the (CAG)n trinucleotide repeat in Huntington's disease gene IT15 on some clinical features (age and symptoms) at onset. METHODS: 84 patients and a control group of 68 unaffected relatives were studied. Patients all belonged to a group of affected persons tested for molecular confirmation of Huntington's...
