Center node

Mutant Huntingtin Protein

The anchor of this map (entity). Its strongest causes and effects fan out around it.

Causal relationship

Antisense Oligonucleotide → Mutant Huntingtin Protein

ASOs lower mutant huntingtin expression in Huntington mouse models

Opposing (-) 0.44

Causal relationship

Htt Gene Mutation → Mutant Huntingtin Protein

Inherited CAG repeat expansion in HTT gene drives production of toxic mutant huntingtin protein

Reinforcing (+) 0.44

Causal relationship

Sky 0515 → Mutant Huntingtin Protein

dose-dependent knockdown of mutant huntingtin protein observed in Phase 1 clinical update

Opposing (-) 0.43

Causal relationship

Votoplam → Mutant Huntingtin Protein

Votoplam (PTC518) is an oral small-molecule splicing modifier that forces a premature stop into HTT mRNA, degrading the transcript and lowering huntingtin protein; PIVOT-HD showed dose-dependent lowering (23% low / 36% high dose at 1 year)

Opposing (-) 0.36

Causal relationship

Branaplam → Mutant Huntingtin Protein

Oral drug branaplam lowered huntingtin levels in HD patients.

Opposing (-) 0.36
