Journal ArticleDOI

A novel gene containing a trinucleotide repeat that is expanded and unstable on Huntington's disease chromosomes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used haplotype analysis of linkage disequilibrium to spotlight a small segment of 4p16.3 as the likely location of the defect, which is expanded and unstable on HD chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Widespread expression of the human and rat Huntington's disease gene in brain and nonneural tissues.

TL;DR: The regional specificity of neuropathology in HD, which is most prominent in the basal ganglia, thus cannot be accounted for by the pattern of expression of HD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Possible association of a cholecystokinin promotor polymorphism (CCK-36CT) with panic disorder

TL;DR: An association between the CCK polymorphism and panic disorder cannot be considered established due to the inconsistencies in the results, but if the provisional association can be replicated, the findings are consistent with CCK(-36C-->T) being a disease-susceptibility allele that alone is neither necessary nor sufficient to cause panic disorder but that increases vulnerability by acting epistatically.
