Abstract
Significantly increased plasma total homocysteine levels (t-Hcys) appeared in treated Huntington disease (HD) patients compared to controls and untreated HD subjects. Because the protein Huntingtin interacts with the homocysteine metabolism modulating enzyme cystathionine beta-synthase, we hypothesize that homocysteine promotes neurodegeneration in HD.
