Massively parallel next generation sequencing to investigate the cis- and trans-acting genetic modifiers of somatic instability in Huntington's disease

Huntington disease (HD) is an extremely variable inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of an unstable CAG trinucleotide repeat in the huntingtin gene (HTT). Somatic instability in HD exhibits an age-dependent, expansion-biased and tissue-specific pattern, and the highest level of...
