An alternative splicing modulator decreases mutant HTT and improves the molecular fingerprint in Huntington’s disease patient neurons

Krach et al. dissect the molecular mechanism of the alternative splicing modulator Branaplam in Huntington’s disease. They show that the drug lowers mutant HTT protein levels and ameliorates alternative splicing pathology in an iPSC disease model.
