He cautions providers in the room to be careful about their language in the clinic, to avoid making folks feel excluded when discussing clinical trials. This is particularly important for the HD-ISS because it is currently a research tool, not a clinical classification for HD. #HDCongress2025

The most important graphs shows that for people who received AMT-130, their HD symptoms progressed more slowly 3 years after the initial surgery - based on how much their scores on thinking, function, and movement tests changed over time compared to a control group. #HDCongress2025

The gut and brain talk nonstop along a busy two-way superhighway. In Huntington’s disease, this route can get jammed, rerouted, or even carry harmful cargo — connecting gut microbes, inflammation, and brain health in unexpected ways.

Huntington’s isn’t just a brain disease — it affects the whole body. New research shows that muscle, fat, and nutrition changes can happen early in HD, even before symptoms are obvious. Keeping an eye on these shifts could help to receive better care.

Today we're spotlighting an article from April 2025 highlighting how research links antidepressant use to faster cognitive decline in people with dementia, but don’t jump to conclusions for Huntington’s disease. HD is different, and more research is needed before applying these findings.
