Distinct cellular toxicity of two mutant huntingtin mRNA variants due to translation regulation.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG repeat expansion within exon1 of the HTT gene. The gene generates two mRNA variants that carry either a short or long 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) while encoding the same protein. It remains unknown whether the...
