The HD Mutation Does Not Alter Neuronal Death in the Striatum of HdhQ92 Knock-in Mice after Mild Focal Ischemia

Huntington's disease, with its dominant loss of striatal neurons, is triggered by an expanded glutamine tract in huntingtin. To investigate a proposed role for increased activation of the apoptotic cascade in mutant huntingtin's trigger mechanism, we examined huntingtin cleavage and lesion...
