Distinct mismatch-repair complex genes set neuronal CAG-repeat expansion rate to drive selective pathogenesis in HD mice
11 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) modifiers include mismatch-repair (MMR) genes, but their connections to neuronal pathogenesis remain unclear. Here, we genetically tested 9 HD genome-wide association study (GWAS)/MMR genes in mutant Huntingtin (mHtt) mice with 140 inherited CAG repeats (Q140). Knockout (KO) of genes encoding a distinct MMR complex either strongly (Msh3 and Pms1) or moderately (Msh2 and Mlh1) rescues...
