Huntingtоn’s diseаse is cаused by а mutatiоn in the huntingtin gene, HTT.  The mutant allele that causes the disease is dоminant to the normal allele. Most people with the disease first notice symptoms between the ages of 30 and 50. Symptoms include mood and behavioral changes and tremors, to name a few. Most people die within 20 years of their diagnosis. Claudette and Garbanzo get married and have two children, Lola and Moose. Garbanzo is diagnosed with Huntington’s in his 50s, and Lola is diagnosed with Huntington’s at age 36. Claudette and Moose are never diagnosed with the disease, and both live into their 80s. Use h to refer to the functional huntingtin allele, and H to refer to the huntingtin allele that causes Huntington’s disease. What are the genotypes of all 4 individuals in the family for the huntingtin gene? Claudette [a1] Garbanzo [a2] Lola [a3] Moose [a4]
