DNA polymerase θ promotes CAG•CTG repeat expansions in Huntington’s disease via insertion sequences of its catalytic domain
Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive dementia, psychiatric problems, and chorea, is known to be caused by CAG repeat expansions in the HD gene HTT. However, the mechanism of this pathology is not fully understood. The translesion DNA polymerase θ (...
