## Abstract Seven HD gene positive individuals under the age of 21 years are described with clinical examination and proton‐MR‐spectroscopy (^1^H‐MRS) profiles of the putamen. Despite clinical variability, the predominate ^1^H‐MRS abnormality is elevated glutamate, expressed well beyond the confine

## Abstract Twelve Italian families with Huntington disease were tested with 10 probes known to be linked to the disease locus and able to detect polymorphisms at the following loci on chromosome 4: D4S10, D4S127, D4S95, D4S43, D4S115, D4S111, D4S90. The results confirmed the applicability of the l
## Abstract Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder. The mutation which causes the disease is an expansion in the number of repetitions of three nucleotides, C, A, and G in exon 1 of the huntingtin gene. The gene normally has 15 to 30 repeats and an expansion to 40 or m
## Abstract There have been extraordinary advances in our knowledge of the underlying gene, the protein it encodes, various models of disease, and potential targets for effective therapies for Huntington disease. Huntington disease research has increased exponentially in the past 25 years, and we n
## Abstract We report a 5½‐year‐old girl with a maternal family history of Huntington disease (HD), who presented clinically with unbalanced gait, impaired speech, and increasing difficulty with fine motor control. Onset of symptoms began at the age of 3½ years. The suspected diagnosis of juvenile
