摘要
The Danish Huntington's Disease Registry (DHR) is a nationwide family registry comprising 14 245 individuals from 445 Huntington's disease (HD) families of which the largest family includes 845 individuals in 8 generations. 1136 DNA and/or blood samples and 18 fibroblast cultures are stored in a local biobank. The birthplace of the oldest HD carrier in each of the 261 families of Danish origin was unevenly distributed across Denmark with a high number of families in the middle part of the peninsula Jutland and in Copenhagen, the capital. The prevalence of HD in Denmark was calculated to be 5-8:100 000. 1451 individuals in the DHR had the size of the HTTCAG repeat determined of which 975 had 36 CAG repeats or more (mean +/- SD: 43,5 +/- 4,8). Two unrelated individuals were compound heterozygous for alleles 36 CAGs, and 60 individuals from 34 independent families carried an intermediate allele.
