Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease pathogenesis involves a genetic gain-of-function toxicity mechanism triggered by the expanded HTT CAG repeat. Current therapeutic efforts aim to suppress expression of total or mutant huntingtin, though the relationship of huntingtin's normal activities to the gain-of-function mechanism and what the effects of huntingtin-lowering might be are unclear. Here, we have re-investigated a rare...
