Generation of Rhesus Macaque Embryos with Expanded CAG Trinucleotide Repeats in the Huntingtin Gene
Huntington’s disease (HD) arises from expanded CAG repeats in exon 1 of the <i>Huntingtin</i> (<i>HTT</i>) gene. The resultant misfolded HTT protein accumulates within neuronal cells, negatively impacting their function and survival. Ultimately, HTT accumulation res...
