RNA-seq analysis reveals significant transcriptome changes in huntingtin-null human neuroblastoma cells

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Huntingtin (Htt) protein is the product of the gene mutated in Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal, autosomal dominant, neurodegenerative disorder. Normal Htt is essential for early embryogenesis and the development of the central nervous system. However, the role of Htt in adult tissues is less defined. Following the recent promising clinical trial in which both normal and mutant Htt mRNA were knocked...
