Shortly after the Huntington's gene was identified, researchers found the protein it produces, a larger than normal molecu ....

In other Huntington-related research, scientists have found where huntingtin protein is localized in nerve cells, a step closer to discovering its contribution toward Huntington's.
A French team reported that they have developed an antibody that attaches itself to the defective protein in Huntington's and four other inherited diseases. This finding may lead to identifying the defects in a variety of others unexplained disorders.
The identification of the gene an the huntingtin ....
