Huntington's disease
Mol Pathol.
2001 Dec.
Abstract
The most recent findings in the elucidation of the molecular pathology of Huntington's disease are reviewed. Particular interest has been paid to the role of huntingtin and its associated proteins in excitotoxicity mediated via NMDA and kainate receptors.
