Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is a dominant neurodegenerative disorder that is due to expansion of an unstable HTT CAG repeat for which genome-wide genetic scans are now revealing chromosome regions that contain disease-modifying genes. We have explored a novel human-mouse cross-species functional prioritisation approach, by evaluating the HD modifier 6q23-24 linkage interval. This unbiased strategy employs C57BL/6J...
