Journal ArticleDOI

A novel gene containing a trinucleotide repeat that is expanded and unstable on Huntington's disease chromosomes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used haplotype analysis of linkage disequilibrium to spotlight a small segment of 4p16.3 as the likely location of the defect, which is expanded and unstable on HD chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exon 1 of the HD Gene with an Expanded CAG Repeat Is Sufficient to Cause a Progressive Neurological Phenotype in Transgenic Mice

TL;DR: Mice have been generated that are transgenic for the 5' end of the human HD gene carrying CAG/polyglutamine repeat expansion that exhibits many of the features of HD, including choreiform-like movements, involuntary stereotypic movements, tremor, and epileptic seizures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aggregation of Huntingtin in Neuronal Intranuclear Inclusions and Dystrophic Neurites in Brain

TL;DR: An NH2-terminal fragment of mutant huntingtin was localized to neuronal intranuclear inclusions and dystrophic neurites in the HD cortex and striatum, and polyglutamine length influenced the extent of huntingtin accumulation in these structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of neuronal intranuclear inclusions underlies the neurological dysfunction in mice transgenic for the hd mutation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed that mice transgenic for exon 1 of the human HD gene carrying (CAG)115 to 157 repeat expansions develop pronounced neuronal intranuclear inclusions, containing the proteins huntingtin and ubiquitin, prior to developing a neurological phenotype.
