Recent HD Research: Where the Action Is

Readers of our website sometimes ask, “Where does all the research summarized by HOPES come from?” Here follows a list of some main contributors to HD research, along with some of their recent studies, clustered in five categories:

• Biological Basis of HD
• HD genetics
• The Search for Treatments
• Psychological Studies
• Clinical Trials

We’ve also included some news articles highlighting the key discoveries. You will notice that the “Recommended Reading” list at the end draws directly from medical journals, so please be forewarned: the material there may be complex.

As in all HOPES sections, words listed in the glossary are shown in red with yellow highlights. Click on the word to view a brief definition in the glossary.
