A new model for prediction of the age of onset and penetrance for Huntington's disease based on CAG length.

TL;DR: A parametric survival model based on CAG repeat length is developed to predict the probability of neurological disease onset (based on motor neurological symptoms rather than psychiatric onset) at different ages for individual patients using the largest cohort of HD patients analyzed to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
