About the gene
		- The gene ,discovered in 1993, was located on the 4th chromosome. - The gene that is mutated is the gene that codes for Huntingtin, a protein in the brain that helps in transerring messages between brain cells - The protein regularly sends the message. When, mutated, it doesn't do anything, and causes protein aggregation. - The type of mutation is duplication - The gene coding in a regular gene has a specific number of the codon, CAG. - The number of repeats in a regular person is 35, and a person with 40 repeats of the codon has Huntington's disease
