Original Source: MRI biomarkers in Huntington's disease.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease affecting the brain resulting in neuronal dysfunction and neuronal loss. Since the identification of the gene responsible for HD, genetic testing has become widely available, allowing for genetic status of persons at risk for HD to be determined. For the effective evaluation of future therapeutic trials a great need exists for sensitive biomarkers. In (premanifest) HD, MRI of the brain is one of the most logical candidates as a biomarker,...
