A road less traveled: how making less huntingtin can alter somatic instability and may delay symptoms
CAG repeats can get longer over time as the HD gene is used, like the growing potholes and cracks in an old road. New research finds that blocking cells from using their HTT gene slows this wear and tear, which might slow the onset of symptoms in HD.
