Huntingtin-associated protein-related assays
 Proteins which specifically bind to huntingtin, the product of the Huntington's Disease locus (HD), are used in assays for screening drug candidates. These proteins, termed huntingtin associated proteins, bind to huntingtins of both normal and Huntington's Disease patients. However, the binding is stronger to the huntingtins from the patients. The strength of binding correlates with the number of glutamine repeats in the huntingtin, which itself correlates with the time of disease onset.
