Scientists are unraveling the mystery of what triggers Huntington's disease, a devastating hereditary disorder that strikes ...
Approximately 23 years before a clinical diagnosis, CSF analysis showed very early signs of neurodegeneration with elevated ...
Scientists have discovered a surprising mechanism by which the inherited genetic mutation known to cause Huntington's disease leads to the death of brain cells. The findings change the understanding ...
A new study of nerve cells affected by Huntington’s disease (HD) reveals that the disease-causing gene slowly expands over ...
Studies of living participants and postmortem brains confirm that gene expansion is a promising target for HD prevention ...
If you’ve ever heard of Huntington’s disease, you know how devastating it can be. This hereditary brain disorder slowly robs ...
Subtle changes in the brain, detectable through advanced imaging, blood and spinal fluid analysis, happen approximately twenty years before a clinical motor diagnosis in people with Huntington’s ...
Having 35 copies of the CAG triplet in the gene that causes Huntington’s disease is not a problem. Inheriting 40 could be a ...
New genetic research shows why some people develop deadly Huntington's disease earlier than others. The findings could lead ...
