Huntingtin HTT1a is generated in a CAG repeat-length-dependent manner in human tissues

Abstract Background The disease-causing mutation in Huntington disease (HD) is a CAG trinucleotide expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. The mutated CAG tract results in the production of a small RNA, HTT1a, coding for only exon 1 of HTT. HTT1a is generated by a block in the splicing reaction of H...
