From neuronal inclusions to neurodegeneration: neuropathological investigation of a transgenic mouse model of Huntington'sdisease
29 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion of a polyglutamine repeat sequence within a novel protein. Recent work has shown that abnormal intranuclear inclusions of aggregated mutant protein within neurons is a characteristic feature shared by HD and several other diseases involving glutamine repeat expansion. This suggests that in each of the these...
