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：
The American Journal of Medical Genetics - Part A (AJMG) gives you continuous coverage of all biological and medical aspects of genetic disorders and birth defects, as well as in-depth documentation of phenotype analysis within the current context of genotype/phenotype correlations. In addition to Part A , AJMG also publishes two other parts:
Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics , covering experimental and clinical investigations of the genetic mechanisms underlying neurologic and psychiatric disorders.
Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics , guest-edited collections of thematic reviews of topical interest to the readership of AJMG .
