Huntingtin is required for neurogenesis and is not impaired by the Huntington's disease CAG expansion. of outstanding interest Nat Genet. 17:1997;404-410 The expanded CAG repeat of a human HD gene was 'knocked into' the endogenous mouse Hdh gene to create a mutant gene capable of producing mouse huntingtin with a longer polyglutamine segment. Two alleles were produced, one showing reduced expression and one showing wild-type expression levels of the mutant protein. The latter was not associated with any phenotype in hemizygotes, heterozygotes or homozygotes, indicating that the HD mutation does not abrogate huntingtin's normal developmental function. Severely reduced expression caused abnormal neurogenesis indicating a role for huntingtin in brain development.
