About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for HTT:
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. A fairly broad range in the number of trinucleotide
repeats has been identified in normal controls, and repeat numbers in excess of 40 have been described as
pathological. The huntingtin locus is large, spanning 180 kb and consisting of 67 exons. The huntingtin gene is widely
expressed and is required for normal development. It is expressed as 2 alternatively polyadenylated forms displaying
different relative abundance in various fetal and adult tissues. The larger transcript is approximately 13.7 kb and is
expressed predominantly in adult and fetal brain whereas the smaller transcript of approximately 10.3 kb is more
widely expressed. The genetic defect leading to Huntington's disease may not necessarily eliminate transcription, but
may confer a new property on the mRNA or alter the function of the protein. One candidate is the huntingtin-associated
protein-1, highly expressed in brain, which has increased affinity for huntingtin protein with expanded polyglutamine
repeats. This gene contains an upstream open reading frame in the 5' UTR that inhibits expression of the huntingtin
gene product through translational repression. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

Function: May play a role in microtubule-mediated transport or vesicle function

    About This Section

    Polymorphism: The poly-Gln region of HTT is highly polymorphic (10 to 35 repeats) in the normal population and is
    expanded to about 36-120 repeats in Huntington disease patients. The repeat length usually increases in successive
    generations, but contracts also on occasion. The adjacent poly-Pro region is also polymorphic and varies between 7-12
    residues. Polyglutamine expansion leads to elevated susceptibility to apopain cleavage and likely result in
    accelerated neuronal apoptosis

  • Defects in HTT are the cause of Huntington disease (HD) [MIM:143100]. HD is an autosomal dominant
  • neurodegenerative disorder characterized by involuntary movements (chorea), general motor impairment, psychiatric
    disorders and dementia. Onset of the disease occurs usually in the third or fourth decade of life and symptoms
    progressively worsen leading to death in 10 to 20 years. Onset and clinical course depend on the degree of poly-Gln
    repeat expansion, longer expansions resulting in earlier onset and more severe clinical manifestations. HD affects 1
    in 10,000 individuals of European origin. Neuropathology of Huntington disease displays a distinctive pattern with
    loss of neurons, especially in the caudate and putamen (striatum)
