Scientists discover rare genetic condition that attacks kids’ immune systems
huntington disease x linked recessive :: Article Creator Organoids Reveal A New Player In Huntington's Disease Scientists have used an organoid model to gain new insights into Huntington's disease, a fatal genetic disorder that causes neurodenegeration that impairs movement and behavior. The disease is caused by mutations in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene. There are no good treatments for this disorder. Investigators have now found that a gene called CHCHD2 is also related to Huntington's; mutations in the HTT gene can reduce CHCD2 expression, which may present a new target option for treatments. The findings have been reported in Nature Communications. Researchers turn to models when they want to learn more about the mechanisms underlying a physiological process or disease. But animals can only tell us so much about human conditions. One relatively recent creation that aims to bridge the gaps in research knowledge that arise from using a
