Journal ArticleDOI

Inherited HTT CAG repeat length does not have a major impact on Huntington disease duration.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the relationship between CAG repeat length and age at onset and found that older individuals with HD proceed more aggressively to death with longer CAG length.
Journal ArticleDOI

Huntington’s disease age at motor onset is modified by the tandem hexamer repeat in TCERG1

TL;DR: The authors found a significant association between age at onset and the sum of the repeat lengths from both alleles of the quasi-tandem repeat (QTR) hexamer in exon 4 of TCERG1 with a central pure repeat.
Posted ContentDOI
