We touch only briefly on the creation of multiple animal models for Huntington's disease that have profoundly impacted our understanding of the disease and permitted the development of potential disease-modifying treatments, and end with what is, at the time of writing, the dawn of a new era:...
Huntington’s disease,genetics, trinucleotide repeat, genetic testing, genetic modifiers.INTRODUCTIONThis chapter addresses two aspects of Huntington’sdisease (HD). The first section reviews salient geneticsfeatures of HD, and the second section addresses theutilization of genetic testing for the illness...
Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion encoding an abnormally long polyglutamine tract in the huntingtin protein. Much has been learnt since the mutation was identified in 1993. We review the functions of wi...
Huntington disease, one of the longest established and most serious human genetic disorders, has been the subject of considerable abuse during the present century in relation to the application of genetic knowledge, most notably in Nazi Germany but also in other countries. This disorder provides a ...
Huntington's Disease Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy Tay-Sachs Disease Track 5: Biomarkers A biomarker is a biological characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological or pathological processes, or a response to a therapeutic intervention. Biomarkers may be us...
