Juvenile Huntington Disease With Cerebellar‐Predominant Atrophy Identified by Genome Sequencing
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Juvenile Huntington disease accounts for a small fraction of Huntington disease cases and is driven by the largest trinucleotide repeat expansions. We describe a 6‐year‐old boy with progressive global regression, generalized dystonia, and epilepsy, in whom serial imaging showed striking cerebellar‐predominant atrophy with an initially normal ...
