Animal models of Huntington’s disease and their applicability to novel drug discovery and development
11 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion in the CAG trinucleotide repeat in huntingtin (Htt) gene. The discovery of the HD-causing gene prompted the creation of new HD animal models, proving that mutations in the HD gene are linked to either loss of function of the wild-type (un-mutated) gene or toxic gain in the function of a mutated gene.
