Three patients from a previously described family with autosomal dominant chorea-acanthocytosis were found to have the CTG trinucleotide repeat expansion mutation of the junctophilin-3 gene associated with Huntington's disease-like 2 (HDL2). One of six previously identified patients with HDL2 had acanthocytosis on peripheral blood smear, suggesting that HDL2 should be considered in the differential of chorea-acanthocytosis.
在一个先前描述的患有常染色体显性遗传性舞蹈病-棘红细胞增多症的家族中,发现三名患者携带与亨廷顿病样2型(HDL2)相关的连接蛋白3基因的CTG三核苷酸重复扩增突变。在先前确定的六名HDL2患者中,有一名在外周血涂片上出现棘红细胞增多,这表明在舞蹈病-棘红细胞增多症的鉴别诊断中应考虑HDL2。
