ABSTRACT:

Huntington’s disease is a genetic disorder in which a stretch of repeated
triplet nucleotides, 5’-(CAG)n-3’, is expanded (relative to those in
unaffected people) within a protein-coding gene, known as the ‘Huntingtin’
gene or HTT. While the fundamental genetic basis is clear, the disease is
highly complex and the disease severity and the age of onset depend on a
number of other factors, both genetic and environmental. Moreover, the
molecular basis of the disease is highly complex and is still
controversial. I will describe our machine learning approaches combined
with focused model organism studies, which appear to implicate DNA repair
as an important factor in this disease.
