Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by the inheritance of a copy of the gene encoding mutant huntingtin with an expanded CAG repeat. Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) mRNA decreases in transgenic HD mice expressing exon 1 of the human huntingtin gene (HD). The mouse PDE10A mRNA is expressed through alternative splicing and polyadenylation in a tissue-specific manner and that transcription of striatal PDE10A mRNA is...
