Venezuelan kindreds reveal that genetic and environmental factors modulate Huntington's disease age of onset

Nancy S. Wexler, +57 more
TL;DR: A model estimated the components of additive genetic, shared environment, and nonshared environment variances confirming that approximately 40% of the variance remaining in onset age is attributable to genes other than the HD gene and 60% is environmental.
Journal ArticleDOI

A whole-genome scan and fine-mapping linkage study of auditory-visual synesthesia reveals evidence of linkage to chromosomes 2q24, 5q33, 6p12, and 12p12.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that auditory-visual synesthesia is likely to be an oligogenic disorder subject to multiple modes of inheritance and locus heterogeneity, with important implications for the understanding of the role of genes in human cognition and perception.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relationship between CAG repeat length and age of onset differs for Huntington's disease patients with juvenile onset or adult onset.

J. Michael Andresen, +96 more
TL;DR: In this article, a two-segment exponential regression model was proposed for age-of-obstinence analysis of the CAG repeat expansion in the HD gene, and a plot of natural log-transformed age of onset against CAG-repeat length revealed this segmental relationship.
