Hunting out NUB1 for Huntington's disease: New ways to target neurodegeneration |
| |
摘 要: | Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder afflicting at least 1 : 100000 people world-wide. It is caused by an expanded polyglutamine-encoding repeat in the gene hun- tingtin (HTT) that leads to the accumulation of the mutant HTT protein (mHTT). It has been well es- tablished that the gain of toxic mHTT function is the main cause of the disease and thus reducing mHTT levels may suppress all downstream toxic effects and treat the disease.
