Figuring out how many people have 36 or more CAG repeats, but never show up to a doctor, is a bit like an iceberg. There’s a ...

Catch up on all the latest HD news from Day 1 of the Huntington’s Disease Clinical Research Congress in Nashville, USA.

While the genetic change that causes Huntington’s disease (HD) leads to several problems for cells, researchers believe they could stem from one core issue: the length of the genetic change increasing ...

Think about the last time you were stressed. What did you do to feel better? For many of us, it’s talking through our frustrations. Getting rid of things that stress out our cells also requires good ...

SKY-0515, an oral drug, safely lowers huntingtin in people with HD and may also reduce PMS1. This could offer a possible two-pronged approach to treat HD. SKY-0515 is now being tested in a larger ...

Although MutSβ normally helps cells by spotting and fixing certain kinds of DNA errors, in the case of HD it can actually ...

HDBuzz: 2024 was a big year for HD research, particularly in the clinical space. Which breakthroughs or advances in HD research from the past year are you particularly excited about? HDBuzz Editors-in ...

For those who were following the live tweets from HDBuzz about the CHDI HD Therapeutics Conference or tuned in to the HDSA Convention, we may have caught your attention with the new HD staging system.

UniQure has announced positive top-line results from its Phase I/II trial of AMT-130, a one-time gene therapy being tested in people with Huntington’s disease (HD). Topline data is a summary of the ...

People who develop Huntington’s disease (HD) are born with the genetic change that causes the disease. So why does it take decades, usually around 40 to 50 years, for the symptoms of the disease to ...

Last month, we relayed positive news from uniQure’s trial testing AMT-130, a gene therapy delivered via brain surgery to lower huntingtin (HTT). Data released by uniQure in June suggested AMT-130 was ...

While HD primarily affects the brain, people with HD have subtle changes to their nervous system that can also affect heart rate and blood pressure. The scientists who worked on this paper had ...
