Break Up With Your CAGs: How Three Letters Could Change Huntington’s Disease
Scientists engineered stem cells with “interrupted” CAG repeats to break up the toxic stretch. This may stop expansion, and could improve problems in cells that model Huntington’s disease. This study suggests that DNA spelling can drive the disease.
