Animal models are valuable tools in the determination of expression and physiologic function of studied genes. Huntington's disease as monogenic autosomal disorder is still enigmatic in mechanism by which mutant gene expression affects molecular, physiological, and neurological functions in patients. Recently many animal genetic models were established in an effort to determine and understand changes in tissues and organs leading to disease onset, its progression and manifestation.
