Abstract
Extremely early-onset juvenile Huntington's disease (HD) has been described in three patients with onset at approximately 18 months to 2 years of age. Herein, we report a patient with, to our knowledge, the youngest age of onset with the largest reported explicit expansion size. We also summarize the previously reported cases of extremely early-onset juvenile HD. This information is important to gain insight into this phenotype for earlier diagnosis and in the hopes of future lifesaving treatments.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
