Abstract

Atypical manifestation of Huntington's disease (HD) could inform ongoing research into HD genetic modifiers not present in the primarily European populations studied to date. This work demonstrates that expanding HD genetic testing into under-resourced healthcare settings can benefit both local communities and ongoing research into HD etiology and new therapies.

Keywords: Atypical clinical features; Bangladeshi family tree; CAG repeat; Huntington's disease; mutation.
