Description
Summary:Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable age of onset. The pathogenesis is unknown and there is no reliable means to clinically identify healthy carriers of the HD allelle. The study reported in the present paper was carried out in an attempt to verify the earlier findings and to search for an association between HD and some other markers.
