| Abstract: | Typical Huntington's disease (HD) was studied in a 40-year-old Sudanese man from Khartoum. He had 51 CAG repeats in the Huntington's gene. It is suspected that his mother and his 16-year-old son (both deceased) were also affected. Up to now, there had only been anecdotal evidence of HD in the Sudanese. |
