Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease homolog (Hdh) mRNA levels in mice with different Hdh alleles were measured. Brain Hdh mRNA levels varied up to threefold in genetically identical wild-type mice, indicating nongenetic factors influence Hdh expression. Striatal Hdh mRNA levels from an allele with a repeat expanded to 150 CAGs were diminished compared with wild-type and showed variation that might contribute to phenotypic...
