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 ...

Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that is usually fatal about 15 to 20 years after a patient is diagnosed. It is known to be caused by an aberrant repetitive sequence (CAG) in the ...

Researchers with McMaster University have discovered that the protein mutated in patients with Huntington’s Disease doesn’t repair DNA as intended, impacting the ability of brain cells to heal ...

Researchers have developed a gene editing strategy that could repair the genetic problems that lead to Huntington's disease and Friedreich's ataxia. These disorders arise because of abnormal repeats ...

Researchers with McMaster University have discovered that the protein mutated in patients with Huntington's Disease doesn't repair DNA as intended, impacting the ability of brain cells to heal ...

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 ...
