Subtle changes in the brain, detectable through advanced imaging, blood and spinal fluid analysis, happen approximately twenty years before a clinical motor diagnosis in people with Huntington's ...
Scientists are unraveling the mystery of what triggers Huntington's disease, a devastating hereditary disorder that strikes ...
Approximately 23 years before a clinical diagnosis, CSF analysis showed very early signs of neurodegeneration with elevated ...
Scientists have discovered a surprising mechanism by which the inherited genetic mutation known to cause Huntington's disease leads to the death of brain cells. The findings change the understanding ...
A new study of nerve cells affected by Huntington’s disease (HD) reveals that the disease-causing gene slowly expands over ...
Studies of living participants and postmortem brains confirm that gene expansion is a promising target for HD prevention ...
Having 35 copies of the CAG triplet in the gene that causes Huntington’s disease is not a problem. Inheriting 40 could be a ...
Subtle changes in the brain, detectable through advanced imaging, blood and spinal fluid analysis, happen approximately twenty years before a clinical motor diagnosis in people with Huntington's ...
Scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Harvard Medical School, and McLean Hospital have discovered a surprising mechanism by which the inherited genetic mutation known to cause ...
Scientists uncover how a genetic mutation linked to Huntington's disease stays harmless for years before expanding and causing cell death. The study discovers that DNA repeats must exceed 150 CAGs to ...
