Symptoms of Huntington's disease appear late in life. Research reveals how DNA repeats grow toxic over time, explaining the ...

Subtle signs of neurodegeneration can be detected in blood, CSF, and neuroimaging, up to 20 years before the motor symptoms ...

New genetic research shows why some people develop deadly Huntington's disease earlier than others. The findings could lead to better treatments.

Huntington's disease is a hereditary disorder caused by a genetic mutation in the HTT gene, leading to progressive brain cell damage, affecting movement, cognition, and behavior, with no current cure.

A study published in Nature Medicine reveals subtle neurodegenerative changes in people with Huntington’s disease gene expansion up to 20 years before symptoms appear. Using advanced imaging, blood ...

The team found that although functions such as movement, thinking or behavior remained normal for a long time before the onset of symptoms in Huntington's disease, subtle changes to the brain were ...

A hallmark of Huntington’s disease is that the number of CAG repeats a person has determines when in life symptoms start, if ever. Forty or more generally result in the arrival of Huntington ...

Beta blockers were associated with later appearance of motor symptoms and slower symptom worsening, but an outside expert ...

Could viral infections play a role in Huntington's disease? Research suggests Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing catalytic ...

A recent study published in Cell reveals that the repeated DNA sequence that leads to Huntington’s disease (HD) expands ...
