Huntington's disease is a serious genetic disorder causing progressive neurological damage, leading to movement problems and cognitive decline.
Unlike recessive genetic diseases, Huntington's is dominant; inheriting one copy of the faulty gene from a parent causes the disorder.
Scientists have discovered that previous theories about the disease's progression were inaccurate, opening up new research directions.
This revised understanding offers a fresh wave of optimism, prompting the development of potentially effective therapies for Huntington's patients.
