This promising strategy could slow or halt Huntington's disease progression at the root of its genetic cause. "Targeting MSH3 is exciting not only because it's directly involved in the CAG repeat ...

Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by the expansion of a CAG repeat within exon 1 of the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Although the variation in age at onset is partly explained by the lengths of the ...

HD is a rare, adult-onset, autosomal dominant, progressive neurodegenerative disease. George Huntington (Figure ... precisely determine the number of CAG repeats present in the HTT gene, and ...

The pathogenic connection between huntingtin the protein and Huntington's the disease has eluded neurologists since 1993. 1 Researchers discovered then that a wild-type huntingtin gene had 35 or fewer ...

bit.bio’s new ioGlutamatergic Neurons HTT50CAG/WT provide a human, cell-based, in vitro model of Huntington’s Disease (HD) that accurately ... used to introduce an abnormal expansion of 50 CAG repeats ...

One of the areas of the brain where these cells congregate is the ventricular zone, which is adjacent to the striatum, a region of the brain devastated by Huntington's disease. The idea that the adult ...

Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by an abnormal expansion of a CAG repeat in the huntingtin ( HTT) gene. The primary genetic determinant of the age at ...

Huntington's disease (HD ... The number of repeats inversely correlates with the age at onset, such that children with HD may have 100 CAG repeats or more. Accordingly, young-onset patients usually ...
