TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — For the first time, scientists have successfully treated someone suffering from Huntington’s disease, a fatal genetic illness with no cure. The Mayo Clinic reports that the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A decade ago, University at Buffalo researchers shed some light on an enduring neuroscience mystery: How exactly does a mutated huntingtin protein (HTT) cause Huntington’s disease?

Huntington’s disease is a brain disorder that can affect various functions, including the ability to swallow — particularly as the disease progresses. Huntington’s disease is a neurogenerative ...

While Huntington’s disease is progressive and worsens over time, understanding what is to come can help someone with this condition plan for the road ahead. Huntington’s disease is a neurodegenerative ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression. Research has identified a critical DNA repair ...

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 ...

Scientists may have discovered the first therapy for Huntington’s disease, a brain disorder that until now has had no effective treatments. Researchers at the University of College London (UCL) ...

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.

Preliminary results from a small trial offer the clearest evidence yet that the brain disease’s progression can be slowed. A one-time gene therapy can markedly slow the progression of Huntington’s ...

The successful gene therapy is AMT-130, developed by a company called UniQure. In a three-year trial of 29 participants with ...
