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

Scientists are unraveling the mystery of what triggers Huntington’s disease, a devastating hereditary disorder that strikes in the prime of life.

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

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 were ...

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

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

The field of Huntington’s disease research has been undergoing ... including involuntary movements, loss of coordination, cognitive decline, irritability, and compulsive behavior, in the person ...

Researchers at Tufts University revealed a possible molecular mechanism explaining how the DNA repeats are broken and then expanded in the Huntington’s disease gene, pointing to a component of the ...
