Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mouse models bearing genetic disease mutations are instrumental in the development of therapies for genetic disorders. Huntington's disease (HD) is a late-onset lethal dominant genetic disorder due to a CAG repeat within exon 1 of the Huntingtin (Htt) gene. Several mice were developed to model HD through the expression of a transgenic fragment (exon 1 of the human HTT), the knock-in mutation of the...
