Nouvelles perspectives sur les répétitions CAG intermédiaires : cartographie du continuum d’expansion

Why do some people with intermediate CAG repeats, a genetic “gray zone” in Huntington’s disease, develop neurological symptoms while others do not? This article covers a recent study that tackled this question by looking for somatic expansion, which is a tiny changes in DNA, in individuals across various CAG repeat sizes. Using ultra-sensitive research technology […]
UniQure et la FDA ne sont plus d'accord sur la procédure d'approbation de l'AMT-130.

In a very brief press release from uniQure on November 3, 2025 we learned that the company is no longer aligned with the FDA on moving their drug AMT-130 forward. Just a few weeks ago, positive news from their ongoing clinical trials took the world by storm. Their goal was to use those data to […]
Octobre 2025 : Ce mois-ci dans la recherche sur la maladie de Huntington

This month brought new revelations across biomarkers, basic science and community gathering. In particular, we saw how DNA-repair targeting strategies are moving into focus, how gaps in diagnosis are being quantified, and how the annual Huntington’s Disease Clinical Research Congress 2025 deepened connections across the field. Together these developments reflect how far the HD research […]
Une carte à travers le temps : suivre la maladie de Huntington depuis sa naissance dans le cerveau

A new study in mouse models reveals how Huntington’s disease (HD) disrupts brain development over time, even long before symptoms appear. Using advanced sequencing tools and spatial transcriptomics, a technique that maps where in the brain genes are activated, researchers discovered early warning signs that could help explain why some brain cells are more vulnerable […]
Clarification supplémentaire : ce que nous savons 4 semaines après l'annonce d'uniQure News

The past 4 weeks have been a whirlwind in the Huntington’s disease (HD) community. On September 25th we had an update from uniQure about a drug they’re testing for HD in ongoing clinical trials. The news was positive and it took the world by storm, producing jaw dropping headlines from news sources around the world, […]
Quelle est la taille de l’iceberg de la maladie de Huntington ?

Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by repeating C-A-G letters of genetic code that are too long. Everyone who develops HD is born with 36 or more CAG repeats, but not everyone with 36 or more CAG repeats is actually diagnosed with HD. That’s because either they are not old enough yet to have symptoms, or […]
