Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by CAG trinucleotide repeat expansions in exon-1 of huntingtin (HTT). Currently, there is no cure for HD, and the clinical care of individuals with HD is focused on symptom management. Previously, we showed allele-specific deletion of the expanded HTT allele (mHTT) using CRISPR-Cas9 by targeting nearby (<10 kb) SNPs that created...
