Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded trinucleotide CAG repeat in the Huntingtin (Htt) gene. The molecular basis for the development and progression of HD is currently poorly understood. However, different DNA repair pathways have been implicated in both somatic expansion and disease progression. Embryonic stem cells provide a remarkable in vitro system to study HD and...
