✦ Synopsis

Typical Huntington's disease (HD) was studied in a 40-year-old Sudanese man from Khartoum. He had 51 CAG repeats in the Huntington's gene. It is suspected that his mother and his 16-year-old son (both deceased) were also affected. Up to now, there had only been anecdotal evidence of HD in the Sudanese.

## Abstract Huntington's disease is an autosomal‐dominant inherited progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with an expanded trinucleotide repeat (CAG) sequence on the short arm of chromosome 4. The disease is considered rare in Africans. We report five black South African families of diff

This study was planned to determine the number of origins of the mutation underlying Huntington's disease (HD) in Sweden. Haplotypes were constructed for 23 different HD families, using six different polymorphisms [(CCG)n, GT70, 674, BS 1, E2 and 4.2], including two within the gene. In addition, ext

## Abstract We report on a family with comorbidity of Huntington's disease (HD) and idiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS). All family members investigated and affected by RLS are also affected by HD, but not vice versa. The association of HD and RLS is discussed with respect to dopaminergic dysfu

## Abstract Minocycline is a caspase inhibitor, decreases inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and has been shown to delay disease progression in the mouse model R6/2 of Huntington's disease (HD). This safety and tolerability study included 30 patients with HD who were given minocycline over a 6
