At this time of giving, we want to give thanks to you, the Huntington’s disease (HD) community, for all you have done for HD research, bringing us closer to medicines which will one day slow or halt HD.
Advanced Care Planning is a tool that can allow people living with Huntington’s disease to compassionately engage with loved ones about their future care, taking thoughtful steps at their own pace while they’re able, to ensure their wishes are met.
We're proud to announce Jenny Lange as a 2024 HDBuzz Prize winner! Our brains are made up of many types of cells that play different roles in the changes caused by HD. This study dives into a star-shaped cell called astrocytes and their role in HD.
The HDSA recently coordinated a meeting between Huntington’s disease families and the US regulatory agency that approves medicines, to amplify the community’s voice and help move us toward treatments.
Changes in thinking, learning, and memory are some of the most distressing and impactful in Huntington’s disease. Sage Therapeutics was advancing their drug dalzanemdor to treat these symptoms, but unfortunately this program will be halted.
Scientists have found more people have the genetic changes that underlie repeat expansion diseases, like HD, than previously thought. This new data tells doctors to consider expansion diseases more when diagnosing people with neurological symptoms.
