FAN1 nuclease activity affects CAG expansion and age at onset of Huntington's disease

Branduff McAllister, Jasmine Donaldson, Caroline S. Binda, Sophie Powell, Uroosa Chughtai, Gareth Edwards, Joseph Stone, Sergey V. Lobanov, Linda Elliston, Laura-Nadine Schuhmacher, Elliott Rees, Georgina Elizabeth Menzies, Marc Ciosi, Alastair Maxwell, Michael J. Chao, , Thomas H. Massey

The paper identifies FAN1 nuclease activity as a modifier of CAG expansion and age at onset in Huntington's disease through exome sequencing and functional validation.

Genetic risk underlying psychiatric and cognitive symptoms in Huntington’s Disease

Natalie Ellis, Amelia Tee, Branduff McAllister, Thomas H. Massey, Duncan James McLauchlan, Timothy Stone, Kevin Correia, Jacob M. Loupe, Kyung‐Hee Kim, Douglas Barker, Eun Pyo Hong, Michael J. Chao, Jeffrey D. Long, Diane E. Lucente, Jean Paul Vonsattel, , Peter Holmans

The paper investigates genetic risk factors for psychiatric and cognitive symptoms in Huntington’s Disease using polygenic risk scores and finds associations between specific psychiatric risk scores and corresponding symptoms.

Huntington's disease onset is determined by length of uninterrupted CAG, not encoded polyglutamine, and is modified by DNA maintenance mechanisms

Jong‐Min Lee, Kevin Correia, Jacob M. Loupe, Kyung‐Hee Kim, Douglas Barker, Eun Pyo Hong, Michael J. Chao, Jeffrey D. Long, Diane E. Lucente, Jean‐Paul Vonsattel, Ricardo Mouro Pinto, Kawther Abu Elneel, Eliana Marisa Ramos, Jayalakshmi Srinidhi Mysore, Tammy Gillis, , Richard H. Myers

This study shows that the length of uninterrupted CAG repeats, not the encoded polyglutamine segment, determines Huntington's disease onset, and DNA maintenance genes modify this process.
