Scientists discover a rare genetic quirk that may extend the age of onset in people with Huntington’s disease by boosting ...
To better understand how the MutSβ complex can make the DNA zipper worse, the authors used a technique called cryo-electron ...
A small study from Brazil tested whether stem cells from human dental pulp, the soft tissue inside teeth, could help people with Huntington’s disease (HD). The results hint at small improvements on ...
In recent years, HD research headlines have trended toward huntingtin lowering: experimental therapies that target the root genetic cause of HD. But there are also several drugs in development to ...
Huntington’s disease (HD) develops when people have a repetition of the genetic letters C-A-G in their huntingtin gene. People with 40 or more repeats will develop the disease during their lifetime, ...
We’ve had a run of exciting updates from Ionis and Roche/Genentech about their program to test a drug that lowers production of the huntingtin protein – but they’re no longer the only game in town.
The Enroll-HD study is the largest clinical study in Huntington’s Disease ever. What’s it all about, and why is Enroll-HD so important in the fight against HD? Join HDBuzz’s own Jeff Carroll as he ...
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 ...
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 ...
This week, we heard an update from Roche about their huntingtin-lowering therapy, tominersen, currently being tested in the GENERATION HD2 trial. An independent data monitoring committee (iDMC) that ...
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 ...
