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

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 ...

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

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