* Information From OMIM

Description: The HTT gene encodes huntingtin, a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein that binds to a number of transcription factors to regulate transcription. Abnormal expansion of a polyglutamine tract in the N terminus of huntingtin causes Huntington disease (OMIM:143100), a devastating autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor, psychiatric, and cognitive dysfunction (summary by Futter et al., 2009).
