Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) arises from the toxic gain of function caused by a CAG expansion in the coding region of the huntingtin (HTT) gene. HD is increasingly appreciated to emerge from multiple pathogenic processes, including somatic instability in mutant HTT's (mHTT) CAG repeat tract, which leads to diverse deleterious consequences. These include the alternative processing of HTT pre-mRNA to generate the...
