Abstract:Huntington’s disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded, somatically unstable CAG repeat in the first exon of the huntingtin gene (HTT). In the presence of an expanded CAG repeat, huntingtin mRNA undergoes an aberrant processing that generatesHTT1atranscripts with exon 1 and intron 1 sequences, which encodes the aggregation-prone and pathogenic HTTexon 1 protein. The regulatory mechanisms that contribute to the production ofHTT1aare not fully understood. In a previo… Show more
