Surprising way that genetic mutation causes Huntington's disease changes understanding of the disorder
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 Huntington's disease leads to the death of brain cells.
Surprise finding sheds light on what causes Huntington’s disease, a devastating fatal brain disorder
New research shows that the mutation is, surprisingly, harmless for decades. But it quietly grows into a larger mutation — until it eventually crosses a threshold, generates toxic proteins, and
New Research Sheds Light on the Causes of Huntington’s Disease
If you’ve ever heard of Huntington’s disease, you know how devastating it can be. This hereditary brain disorder slowly robs people of their ability to think, move, and even communicate. The disease’s progression is relentless,
