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.
