Novel Therapeutic Targets for Huntington's Disease Discovered in BUSM Study

Novel insight into the impact that genes may have on Huntington's disease (HD) is provided in a study led by researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM). The study, published online in emPLOS Genetics/em, identified specific small segments of RNA (called micro RNA or miRNA) encoded in DNA in the human genome that are highly expressed in HD. Micro RNAs are important because they regulate the expression of genes. The researchers showed that these ...
