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

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.
