## Abstract Factors associated with the age of onset of essential tremor (ET) have not been studied in detail. Identification of modifiable factors could lead to strategies to delay disease onset and identification of nonmodifiable factors would be useful while counseling at risk individuals. The o

## Abstract Hereditary essential tremor (ET) is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable expression and reduced penetrance. A tremor indistinguishable from ET may be observed in patients with autosomal dominant idiopathic torsion dystonia (ITD), in which the disease locus has been mapped to 9q3
Analyses of family data published in Japan concerning 29 kindred with 2 or more cases of retinoblastoma revealed that, in the children who received the gene from a carrier parent, both penetrance and expressivity increase with increasing degree of expressivity in the parent. The estimate for the ave
Anticipation has been suggested among the genetic mechanisms of bipolar disorder (BD), prompting the search for unstable DNA sequences. Past studies of anticipation in BD have generally relied on observed shift in the age at onset between parental and offspring generations. Such a shift, however, ma
