In a recent study, beta blockers appeared to significantly lower both the annualized risk for conversion from presymptomatic to symptomatic Huntington’s disease (HD) and the rate of worsening among ...

Huntington’s disease (HD) is one of those rare conditions that affects not just the patient but the entire family—medically, emotionally and genetically. This inherited brain disorder causes gradual ...

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington’s disease ...

The new research, conducted in a mouse model of Huntington's disease, demonstrates that the newly generated neurons connect with the complex networks in the brain responsible for motor control, ...

Huntington's Disease is a fatal genetic disease that breaks down the mind and body, and there is no cure. About 41,000 people ...

In the complex world of neuroscience, Huntington's disease remains a cruel mystery. It slowly strips away a person’s ability to think and move, yet scientists still don't fully understand why.

It is well understood that the neurodegenerative disorder Huntington’s disease is caused by an N-terminal polyQ-expansion (>35) in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene. This mutation leads to axonal degeneration ...
