Huntingtons Disease

Huntington's disease (HD) is one of the most common dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by a clinical trial of movement disorder, cognitive deficits, and psychiatric symptoms. Huntington’s Disease: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Implications for Therapeutics, reviews the most up-do-date content on HD pathogenic mechanisms and cutting-edge testing of therapeutic strategies for HD. Chapters explore areas such as, normal huntingtin biology in brain development and function, genetic modifiers of HD in patients, molecular pathogenic mechanism in HD, and mechanisms underlying selective neuronal vulnerability
