Abstract excerpt
Recent genome-wide association studies of age-at-onset in Huntington's disease (HD) point to distinct modes of potential disease modification: altering the rate of somatic expansion of the HTT CAG repeat or altering the resulting CAG threshold length-triggered toxicity process. Here, we evaluated the mouse orthologs of two HD age-at-onset modifier genes, FAN1 and RRM2B, for an influence on somatic instability of...
