The full-length distributions for the HD-causing CAG repeat in SPNs for each donor in (C). Blue shaded areas are smoothed density estimates of the repeat length distribution. Overplotted black points show the measurements in individual SPNs. In all six donors, the repeat length distribution exhibits an armadillo-like shape, in which the DNA repeat in most of a donors SPNs has undergone modest expansion (up to 100 CAGs) but in a small fraction of SPNs has undergone greater expansion (up to 500+ CAGs).Figure S3andMethods S1, section repeat expansion dynamics, contain additional visualizations.
