CAG-Expansion Haplotype Analysis in a Population with a Low Prevalence of Huntington's Disease
2014
Background and Purpose
The prevalence of Huntington's disease (HD) among East Asians is less than one-tenth of that among Caucasians. Such a low prevalence may be attributable to a lack of carriers of specific predisposing haplogroups associated with the high instability of the Huntingtin gene (HTT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between specific HTT haplogroups and the occurrence of HD in a Thai population.
