A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or ...

A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease and ...

Huntington’s disease symptoms are linked to expanding DNA repeats (CAG) that become toxic in brain cells over time The "ticking DNA clock" accelerates after 80 repeats, killing neurons within ...

Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that is usually fatal about 15 to 20 years after a patient is diagnosed. It is known ... | Genetics And Genomics ...

Less than a month after researchers unveiled that a “ticking DNA clock” is behind Huntington’s disease (HD), scientists have ...

New findings suggest Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing catalytic proteins are causing repeat expansions in the Huntington’s gene. Could targeting them offer a treatment? #huntingtonsdisease # ...

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to ...

The mutations that cause Huntington's involve a repeat of a three base pair sequence: CAG in the huntingtin gene. In Huntingon's patients, the CAG sequence is repeated forty or more times, instead of ...
