To prevent and heal Huntington's disease (HD) symptom development, the persons with CAG repetition number within 36 to 45 are administered with EPA in any biologically viable form.;EFFECT: reduced brain tissue loss for patients and prevention of symptom development for persons prone to that; ...
"We have learned that huntingtin, the protein that causes Huntington's disease when mutated, is modified by an enzyme (PRMT6) that is capable of addingmethyl groups(small flags) to teach other proteins, responsible for axonal transport, to recognize huntingtin. When huntingtin is not recognized,...

A growing number of young people (YP) are requesting predictive testing (PT) for Huntington's disease (HD), yet there is little research in this area. The aim of this study was to explore YP's experiences of PT for HD, the impact of their result and any gaps in information or support...
Although our study is focused on Huntington's disease, it will help us learn aboutbrain trainingmore generally, too. We already know that the more often you play a game, the better you get at it. If you play the card game Snap!, for example, you might get much quicker at pairing the...
