Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominantly inherited progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG/polyglutamine repeat expansion in the gene encoding the huntingtin protein. We have recently generated a rat model transgenic for HD, which displays a slowly progressive phenotype resembling the human adult-onset type of disease. In this study we systematically assessed the distribution and...
