## Background Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the __HD__ gene. The huntingtin protein expressed from __HD__ has an unknown function but is suggested to interact with proteins involved in the cell division machinery. The R6/2 t

## Abstract Functional disability of patients with Huntington's disease (HD) is determined by impairment of voluntary motor function rather than the presence of chorea. However, only few attempts have been made to quantify this motor impairment. By using a simple reaction time paradigm, we measured

## Abstract Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an essential neurotrophin and regulation of its expression is complex due to multiple 5′ untranslated exons which are separately spliced to a common coding exon to form unique mRNA transcripts. Disruption of BDNF gene expression is a key to th
