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
Study finds surprising way that genetic mutation causes Huntington's disease, transforming understanding of the disorder
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 of the fatal neurodegenerative disorder and suggest potential ways to delay or even prevent it.
New findings shed light on cause of Huntington's disease progression
A new study of nerve cells affected by Huntington’s disease (HD) reveals that the disease-causing gene slowly expands over time, but doesn't start causing harm until it hits a toxic threshold that rapidly leads to the nerve cell’s death.
