Huntington's Disease: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Implications for Therapeutics

Huntington's Disease: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Implications for Therapeutics reviews the most up-do-date content on HD pathogenic mechanisms and cutting-edge testing of therapeutic strategies for HD. Chapters explore areas such as normal Huntington biology in brain development and function, genetic modifiers of HD in patients, molecular pathogenic mechanism in HD, and mechanisms underlying selective neuronal vulnerability. As Huntington's disease (HD) is one of the most common dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by a clinical trial of movement disorder, cognitive deficits, and psychiatric symptoms, this book is an ideal reference for readers interested in its pathologies.
