PPT-The Genetics and Molecular Biology of Huntington’s Disease

Son Dong Justin Wise Niket Yadav History Confusing disease in mid 1 6 00s Had different names based on symptoms First mention was in 1842 Major discoveries occurred after Charles Gorman Johan Lund. Over the past decade an ever growing arsenal of techniques has helped researchers dissect the innermost secrets of the cell and develop new ways to detect and attack disease These techniques also have been used to produce vast amounts of once rare d Genetics and Molecular Biology, 22, 4, 543-546 (1999)terfertility, many authors consider both as subspecies(Manwell and Baker, 1980).
