Abstract:Introduction To date, several genes involved in the pathogenesis of HD have been
recognized. Out of these, the RET gene (chromosomal locus 10q11), one of the
first genes identified in combination with HD, is still considered the basis for
HD development. However, even with over a hundred RET gen coding sequence
mutations identified, the mutations do not fully explain the observed sex bias
of HD and the elevated … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
