  9. Terminology

  10. Trivia
    • H1 is more common (~80% freq in Eurpoeans). Reference genome is H1 on chr17.
      • increased risk of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)
      • increased risk of corticobasal degeneration (CBD) with an odds ratio (OR) of ~5
      • increased risk of Parkinson disease (OR ~1.7).
    • H2 (inverted) is at 20%
