Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder expressed when a trinucleotide repeat in the gene IT-15 is expanded. The mechanism by which the expanded repeat causes the expression of the disease is unknown. Possible mechanisms include alterations in the amount of the mRNA, potentially resulting from changes in gene transcription or abnormal mRNA stability. In order to determine whether the...
