Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG repeat expansion in the HTT gene. Existing toxin-induced and genetic models provide important insights, but none fully replicate the progressive pathology of HD. An AAV9-mediated striatal mouse model expressing mutant HTT with 82 CAG repeats was established to reproduce hallmark neuropathological changes and behavioral...
