Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) occurs through an expansion of the trinucleotide repeat in the HD gene resulting in the lengthening of the polyglutamine stretch within the N terminus of the protein, huntingtin (Htt). While the function of the protein is still being fully elucidated, we have shown that genomic DNA damage is associated with the expression of mutant Htt (mHtt) in a time-dependent fashion. With the...
