Huntington's Disease Tied to Mitochondrial RNA Release, Innate Immune Activation

from Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

Huntington's Disease Tied to Mitochondrial RNA Release, Innate Immune Activation Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News Huntington’s disease is a progressive brain disorder caused by mutations in the HTT gene, which encodes the protein huntingtin. The HTT mutation is a CAG trinucleotide repeat that, when repeated more than 36 times, can lead to the disorder that is characterized by uncontrolled movements and loss of cognition. The mechanisms by which mutant huntingtin leads to neuronal cell death in HD are not fully understood.  READ MORE
