HD is a rare, adult-onset, autosomal dominant, progressive neurodegenerative disease. George Huntington (Figure 1) was the first person to provide a comprehensive description of adult-onset HD in ...

It is an especially relevant question for many living with Huntington’s Disease (HD). Notably, some studies have shown that ...

Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the gene called huntingtin on chromosome 4. HD is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, so that each ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or ...

Huntington's disease, a fatal hereditary brain disorder, is linked to a genetic mutation that remains harmless for decades before expanding and producing toxic proteins that kill brain cells.

Less than a month after researchers unveiled that a “ticking DNA clock” is behind Huntington’s disease (HD), scientists have ...

This type of "somatic expansion" occurs in only the specific types of brain cells that later die in Huntington's disease. Only once a cell's DNA expansion reaches a threshold number of CAGs ...

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

MMJ's innovative soft gelatin THC-CBD capsule, known as MMJ-002, is undergoing the rigorous FDA approval process to ...

Brain Changes in Huntington's Disease Decades Before Diagnosis Will Guide Future Prevention Trials Jan. 17, 2025 — Subtle changes in the brain, detectable through advanced imaging, blood and ...
