Experimental gene therapies like AMT‑130 lower toxic huntingtin protein and significantly slow Huntington’s disease, offering ...

Huntington's disease is caused by an inherited genetic change that causes production of an altered protein. This leads to nerve damage in areas of the brain that control movement and thinking.

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 ...

Huntington’s disease is a neurological (brain) condition that causes involuntary movement, changes to emotions, behavior, and thinking. Huntington’s is a genetic disease that worsens over time.

Huntington's disease diagnosis is confirmed with a genetic test. A clinical history and medical evaluation are used to define symptom onset. Disease staging and surveillance for complications are ...

New treatments and clinical trials are offering renewed optimism to families affected by the degenerative neurological condition.

Synaptic plasticity—the brain's ability to modify the connections between neurons to support learning—is one of the neural functions profoundly altered in Huntington's disease, with a direct impact on ...

Huntington’s disease (HD) has long been one of the most feared neurological disorders. It’s a genetic condition that progressively destroys brain cells, affecting movement, memory, and mood. Until now ...
