Genetic knock-down of HDAC3 does not modify disease-related phenotypes in a mouse model of Huntington's disease.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion of a CAG/polyglutamine repeat for which there are no disease modifying treatments. In recent years, transcriptional dysregulation has emerged as a pathogenic process that appears ear...
