Part Description

LP19792-8 HTT gene.CAG repeats
Expansion of the CAG triplet repeat in the HTT gene (also known as IT15 or HD gene) causes Huntington disease (HD), a progressive brain disorder that causes uncontrolled movements, emotional changes, and loss of cognition. The HTT gene is located on chromosome 4 and position p16.3. The expanded CAG segment leads to the production of an abnormally long version of the huntingtin protein. People with Huntington disease have 36 to more than 120 CAG repeats. People with 36 to 39 CAG repeats may or may not develop the signs and symptoms of Huntington disease, while people with 40 or more repeats almost always develop the disorder.

Basic Attributes

Class: MOLPATH.NUCREPEAT
Type: Laboratory
First Released: Version 1.0m
Last Updated: Version 2.73
Change Reason: Changed gene name from HD to HTT, the current (2012) approved HUGO gene name. June 2015: Changed Property from Arb (Arbitrary) to 'Threshold' since the results (e.g. positive, intermediate, negative) is based on the number of nucleotide repeats. Moved term from Class MOLPATH.TRINUC to MOLPATH.NUCREPEAT, a Class used to group together observations for nucleotide repeats.; The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
