Publication in Nature on the link between Huntington's disease and DNA repair
Announced 24 April 2007
Cynthia McMurray's group at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MA, USA, and collaborators at NIH and CMBN have published a study on how DNA repair of oxidative damage is involved in Huntington's disease. The paper explains the role of the 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (OGG1) enzyme in initiation of age-dependent CAG trinucleotide expansion associated with Huntington's disease that occurs in somatic cells.
