A pivotal moment for the treatment of Huntington's Disease! A gene therapy clinical trial has shown positive preliminary results. It's the first time a treatment has been shown to alter the course of this condition. Full publication of results are awaited @UKCPA @UKCPANeuro

[UCLH @uclh]

"It is nothing less than the dawn of a new age for families impacted by Huntington’s disease."

A new gene therapy to treat Huntington’s disease has shown positive data from the study which is being run at UCLH and other sites.
