## Abstract A three‐nucleotide (GAG) deletion in the __TOR1A__ gene is the most common cause of inherited dystonia, DYT1. Because the mutant protein, TorsinA (TA), is thought to act in a dominant manner to cause disease, inhibiting expression from the mutant gene represents a potentially powerful t

## Abstract Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the expansion of CAG repeats in exon 1 of the HD gene. To clarify the instability of expanded CAG repeats in HD patients, an HD model mouse has been generated by gene replacement with human exon 1 of the HD gene
