Abstract
Huntington's disease is a rare neurodegenerative disease caused by a pathologic CAG expansion in the exon 1 of the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Aggregation and abnormal function of the mutant HTT (mHTT) cause motor, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms in patients, which lead to death in 15-20 years. Currently, there is no treatment for HD. Experimental approaches based on drug, cell or gene therapy are developed and reach progressively to the clinic. Among them, mHTT silencing using small non-coding nucleic acids display important physiopathological benefit in HD experimental models.
