- Huntingtin - Wikipedia
The Huntingtin (HTT) protein is a large, predominantly α-helical molecule composed of 3,144 amino acids and weighing approximately 348kDa in its canonical form

Researchers identified that the number of CAG trinucleotide repeat expansions in the huntingtin gene (HTT) has been shown to correlate with the age of disease onset 2,3 It is known that a CAG repeat length of ≥40 results in definite HD, 1,7-10 CAG repeat length inversely correlates with age of onset, 3,7 and other genetic and environmental

HHT is a condition of gene changes, called genetic, that you get from your parents It is an autosomal dominant disorder That means if one of your parents has HHT, you have a 50% chance of getting it If you have HHT, each of your children has a 50% chance of getting it from you

Mutations in the HTT gene are responsible for Huntington's disease This gene codes for the huntingtin protein and within the HTT gene is a DNA sequence known as the CAG trinucleotide repeat
- HTT Gene - GeneCards | HD Protein | HD Antibody
HTT (Huntingtin) is a Protein Coding gene Diseases associated with HTT include Huntington Disease and Lopes-Maciel-Rodan Syndrome Among its related pathways are Gene expression (Transcription) and Transcriptional Regulation by MECP2
- New Understanding of How Genetic Mutation Causes Huntington’s Disease
For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington’s disease is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene in which a three-letter DNA sequence, C-A-G, is repeated at least 40 times

HD is a rare, fatal, genetic disease that causes the breakdown of nerve cells in the brain over time HD affects a person’s mental, behavioral and physical abilities, including their ability to reason, walk and speak 1 Who is affected by HD?
- HTT huntingtin - NIH Genetic Testing Registry (GTR) - NCBI
Huntingtin is a disease gene linked to Huntington's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of striatal neurons This is thought to be caused by an expanded, unstable trinucleotide repeat in the huntingtin gene, which translates as a polyglutamine repeat in the protein product
