Genome-wide screening in pluripotent cells identifies Mtf1 as a suppressor of mutant huntingtin toxicity

Abstract Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG-repeat expansions in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. The resulting mutant HTT (mHTT) protein induces toxicity and cell death via multiple mechanisms and no effective therapy is available. Here, we employ a genome-wide screen...
