Abstract excerpt
A recent genome-wide association study of Huntington disease (HD) implicated genes involved in DNA maintenance processes as modifiers of onset, including multiple genome-wide significant signals in a chr15 region containing the DNA repair gene Fanconi-Associated Nuclease 1 (FAN1). Here, we have carried out detailed genetic, molecular, and cellular investigation of the modifiers at this locus. We find that...
