It remains unclear in how far the cohort reported by Moss et al., 2014, includes the 285 patients studied by Wild et al., 200812; the studies were performed at the same center.

PRNP, prion protein gene; HD, Huntington's disease; HDL, Huntington's disease‐like disorder; SCA 17, spinocerebellar ataxia 17.
