Observing Huntington's disease: the European Huntington's Disease Network's REGISTRY [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2010
BACKGROUND: Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare triplet repeat (CAG) disorder. Advanced, multi-centre, multi-national research frameworks are needed to study simultaneously multiple complementary aspects of HD. This includes the natural history of HD, its management and the collection of clinical information and biosamples for research. METHODS:

Huntington disease

open access: yes, 2018
Huntington disease is a monogenic neurodegenerative disorder that displays an autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance. It is characterized by motor, psychiatric, and cognitive symptoms that progress over 15-20 years. Since the identification of the causative genetic mutation in 1993 much has been discovered about the underlying pathogenic mechanisms,

Huntington's disease

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, 1996
Huntington's disease (HD) is a late-onset degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, caused by a dominantly inherited mutation in a gene on chromosome 4p. The identification of the trinucleotide repeat mutation responsible for this disorder has been an important step towards understanding the molecular pathology of HD, but in the meantime has

Huntington's Disease [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2011
Huntington's disease (HD) is the most common inherited neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by uncontrolled excessive motor movements and cognitive and emotional deficits. The mutation responsible for HD leads to an abnormally long polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the huntingtin (Htt) protein, which confers one or more toxic functions to ...
