Difference between Gene silencing and Huntington's disease

Gene silencing vs. Huntington's disease

Gene silencing is the regulation of gene expression in a cell to prevent the expression of a certain gene. Huntington's disease (HD), also known as Huntington's chorea, is an inherited disorder that results in death of brain cells.

Similarities between Gene silencing and Huntington's disease

Gene silencing and Huntington's disease have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Gene, Gene expression, Huntingtin, In vitro, Model organism, Neurodegeneration, Neuropsychiatry, Therapy, Transcription (biology).

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product.

Huntingtin

The huntingtin gene, also called the HTT or HD (Huntington disease) gene, is the IT15 ("interesting transcript 15") gene, which codes for a protein called the huntingtin protein.

In vitro

In vitro (meaning: in the glass) studies are performed with microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules outside their normal biological context.

Model organism

A model organism is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological phenomena, with the expectation that discoveries made in the organism model will provide insight into the workings of other organisms.

Neurodegeneration

Neurodegeneration is the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons, including death of neurons.

Neuropsychiatry

Neuropsychiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with mental disorders attributable to diseases of the nervous system.

Therapy

Therapy (often abbreviated tx, Tx, or Tx) is the attempted remediation of a health problem, usually following a diagnosis.

Transcription (biology)

Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
