  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We report a 66-year-old male with typical symp-toms of Huntington's disease (HD), but without family history or atrophy of caudate nucleus on brain CT. The diagnosis of HD was confirmed in this apparently sporadic case by neuropathological findings as loss of small-sized neuron with gliosis in the striatum, and molecular testing of CAG repeat of the gene for HD using post morten tissue. The DNA analysis showed that he had a mildly expand-ed allele with 45 repeat units, in the size range seen in HD chromosomes.
