Longer CAG repeat length is associated with shorter survival after disease onset in disease

Douglas R. Langbehn

Summary: This study reanalyzed the complete Registry HD database from the European Huntington Desease Network and found a significant relationship between the length of the huntingtin gene's CAG trinucleotide expansion and the survival time of Huntington disease patients. The study also showed that older onset age predicted shorter lifespan, and the influence of CAG length on survival was greater in women.

Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy: From Design to the Huntington Disease Clinic

Morgan E. Rook et al.

Summary: Huntington disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by an inherited mutation in the huntingtin gene. Lowering mutant huntingtin protein (HTT) has shown promise as a potential disease-modifying treatment. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that target HTT transcripts offer a suitable approach, and they have gained attention as a therapeutic option for Huntington disease. However, recent clinical trials assessing two types of ASOs for Huntington disease were halted early.

Huaiyu Mi et al.

Summary: PANTHER is a resource for evolutionary and functional classification of protein-coding genes, with extensive improvements made in the past two years, including the refactoring of Protein Class ontology and addition of services for programmatic access. The resource provides comprehensive classification and annotation information for genes from different taxonomic groups and also allows users to add their own protein sequences for evolutionary context and fine-grained annotations.

Summary: Huntington's disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene, and research using a mouse model has shown that changes in CBVa can be detected in the premanifest stage of the disease, with non-allele-specific HTT silencing showing promising therapeutic effects.
