Highlights
  • A one-time gene therapy can markedly slow the progression of Huntington's disease, potentially paving the way for the first ever treatment to alter the course of this rare, inherited brain disorder.
  • In a small trial of 29 people in early Huntington's decline, a high-dose therapy delivered into the brain slowed the disease by 75% over three years versus untreated controls.
  • The therapy uses a harmless virus to deliver a microRNA that suppresses the mutant huntingtin gene, reducing production of the toxic protein in brain cells.
