| genetic cause of huntingtons disease | too many trinucleotide repeats accumulating on the huntingtin gene |
| patient w/ dimentia, chorea (involuntary movements would be expected to have tissue damage where? | brain (specifically caudate nucleus & putamen) |
| what is anticipation (w/ regard to genetic disease)? | disease manifests itself earlier in subsequent generation (in Huntingtons due to accumulation of repeats) |
