The Huntington's mutation involves a stretch of DNA in the HTT gene in which a three-letter sequence of DNA, "CAG," is repeated at least 40 times, as opposed to the 15-35 repeats inherited by ...

Huntington’s disease is an inherited neurological disorder causing movement, cognitive, and behavioral issues. Effective management includes medical treatments, therapies, nutritional support, and ...

It is a genetic disease and people with an affected parent have a 50% chance of inheriting the Huntington’s disease mutation, meaning they will develop disease symptoms – typically in mid-adulthood.

The findings, which could pave the way for new diagnostic ... The genetic mutation that causes Huntington's disease (HD)—a devastating brain disease that disrupts mobility and diminishes ...

The cause of Huntington's disease was discovered over three decades ago--a "genetic stutter" mutation involves repeats of three letters of the DNA, cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG), in a gene called ...

The genetic mutation linked to Huntington's has long been known ... In people without the disease this sequence is repeated just 15 to 35 times. They discovered that DNA tracts with 40 or more ...

According to the University of California San Francisco, Huntington’s disease affects one in every 10,000 to 20,000 people in ...
