A common gene expression signature in Huntington’s disease patient brain regions

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Gene expression data provide invaluable insights into disease mechanisms. In Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disease caused by a tri-nucleotide repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene, extensive transcriptional dysregulation has been reported. Conventional dysregulation analysis has shown that e.g. in the caudate nucleus of the post mortem HD brain the gene expression level of about a...
