CAG Repeat Expansion in Huntington Disease Determines Age at Onset in a Fully Dominant Fashion
Neurol 78:690-695, Lee,J.M.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Normal allele CAG length, interaction between expanded and normal alleles, and presence of a second expanded allele do not influence age at onset of motor manifestations, indicating that the rate of HD pathogenesis leading to motor diagnosis is determined by a completely dominant action of the longest expanded allele and as yet unidentified genetic or environmental factors.
