Trinucleotide repeat length instability and age of onset in Huntington's disease
Abstract
The initial observation of an expanded and unstable trinucleotide repeat in the Huntington's disease gene has now been confirmed and extended in 150 independent Huntington's disease families. HD chromosomes contained 37-86 repeat units, whereas normal chromosomes displayed 11-34 repeats. The HD repeat length was inversely correlated with the age of onset of the disorder. The HD repeat was unstable in more than 80% of meiotic transmissions showing both increases and decreases in size with the largest increases occurring in paternal transmissions. The targeting of spermatogenesis as a particular source of repeat instability is reflected in the repeat distribution of HD sperm DNA. The analysis of the length and instability of individual repeats in members of these families has profound implications for presymptomatic diagnosis.

“While the unaffected population ranges on average 16-20 triplet repeats at this locus, affected patients contain 5 40 CAGs, with the age of symptom onset in general inversely correlating with repeat length (Duyao et al. , 1993; Labbadia and Morimoto, 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
