Web28 jun. 2024 · The HD causative CAG triplet repeat mutations in the HTT gene and corresponding ages of onset for clinical symptoms are illustrated for normal CAG repeat lengths of < 35, 36–39 repeat lengths that may or may not result in HD, adult HD repeat lengths of 40 to ~ 50, and juvenile HD repeat lengths of ~ > 60. Web22 dec. 2024 · Within the typically encountered range of approximately 40 to 50 CAG repeats, onset age ranges from 30 to 65 years for most affected individuals. CAG lengths above this range are often associated with juvenile or young adult onset, whereas partial penetrance and late disease onset occurs for CAG lengths of 36 to 39. dramatist\u0027s ji
