Age of manifest Huntington's disease (HD) onset correlates with number of CAG repeats in the huntingtin gene. Little is known about onset with 36 to 39 repeats, the "reduced penetrance" (RP) range.
We provide allele-specific estimates of HD penetrance (diagnostic confidence level of 4) for RP allele carriers.
We analyzed 431 pre-manifest RP allele carriers from Enroll-HD, the largest prospective observational HD study. Cumulative penetrance (CP) was estimated from Kaplan-Meier curves.
No one with 36 repeats (n = 25) phenoconverted. CP for 38 repeats (n = 120) was 32% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0%-55%) and 51% (CI, 10%-73%) by ages 70 and 75, respectively, and 68% (CI, 46%-81%) and 81% (CI, 58%-92%) by ages 70 and 75 for 39 repeats (n = 253). CP was not estimable at those ages for 37 repeats (n = 33).

亨廷顿病(HD)明显发病年龄与亨廷顿基因中的 CAG 重复次数相关。对于 36 到 39 个重复的发病年龄,即“低外显率”(RP)范围,人们知之甚少。
我们提供了针对 RP 等位基因携带者的 HD 外显率(诊断置信度为 4)的等位基因特异性估计。
我们分析了来自 Enroll-HD 的 431 名前 RP 等位基因携带者,这是最大的前瞻性观察性 HD 研究。累积外显率(CP)是从 Kaplan-Meier 曲线估计得出的。
没有一个 36 个重复的人出现表型转化(n=25)。38 个重复的 CP 在 70 岁时分别为 32%(95%置信区间 [CI] 0%-55%)和 51%(CI,10%-73%),在 75 岁时分别为 68%(CI,46%-81%)和 81%(CI,58%-92%),而 39 个重复的 CP 在 70 岁和 75 岁时无法估计(n=253)。37 个重复的 CP 在这些年龄也无法估计(n=33)。
在截尾个体的中位随访 3 年期间,RP 范围重复长度的差异没有达到统计学意义。© 2021 国际帕金森病和运动障碍学会。
