Abstract excerpt
Huntington's Disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is caused by the expansion of a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract near the N-terminus of the huntingtin protein (HTT), resulting in HTT aggregation. While associated with neurodegeneration, HTT is expressed ubiquitously throughout the body, leading to potential peripheral consequences of aggregation. However, the impact on peripheral tissues remains poorly...
