Quantifying mutant huntingtin protein in human cerebrospinal fluid to support the development of huntingtin-lowering therapies
Abstract Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by a cytosine adenine guanine-repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene. This results in the production of toxic mutant huntingtin protein (mHTT), which has an elongated polyglutamine (polyQ) stretch near the protein’s N-terminal end. The pharmacological lo...
