Huntington disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of a variable length (CAG), repeat in the 5' coding region of a novel gene on chromosome 4~16.3. We provide comprehensive molecular analysis of a sporadic case of HD in which a paternally derived normal l
This report describes molecular analysis of the MECP2 gene in 37 Israeli patients suspected of having Rett syndrome (RTT). The patients were from various Jewish ethnic groups and from Arabic origin. Of the 17 patients with classical RTT, bi-directional sequencing of the coding exons revealed MECP2 m
