Two birds, one stone: HTT-lowering drugs also target CAG expansions

HDBuzz (English)

Huntingtin (HTT)-lowering and somatic expansion have been two of the hottest topics in Huntington’s disease (HD) research in the past decade. Recent work from a team at Massachusetts General Hospital detailed a serendipitous overlap between the two – certain HTT-lowering drugs can also help regulate the ongoing CAG repeat expansion. Seemingly, this could allow researchers to kill two birds with one stone using a single drug. But there’s more to this story.

CAG expansion causes toxicity

The CAG repeat within the HTT gene is the nefarious player leading to HD. This repeat can expand in some cells over time, which is the biological phenomenon known as somatic expansion. We’ve talked a lot about somatic expansion lately, which you can read more about in this recent article.
