Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a devastating family disease that has NO CURE. HD is described as
a rare, fatal, genetic brain disorder that has the symptoms of ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimers at the same time. 41K Americans are symptomatic and 200,000+ live at risk of inheriting the mutated huntingtin gene from their parent who has the disease.
For more information on HD, visit HDSA.org.
HD sounds horrible, and it is, but I want the HD community to be aware that there are many companies conducting promising
clinical trials around the world.
I have previously blogged about the following three (3) companies and the Huntington’s disease clinical trial they are conducting. If you want to read about them, go to my blog page and in the eye glass icon at the upper right hand corner of the page, type in the name.
