Overview

Huntington disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the HTT gene, leading to progressive motor dysfunction (e.g., chorea, rigidity), cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms. Onset typically occurs in mid-adulthood (30–50 years), with juvenile forms (<20 years) presenting severe parkinsonism. Diagnosis is confirmed by genetic testing. While incurable, symptom management includes pharmacotherapy, multidisciplinary care, and emerging disease-modifying therapies targeting mutant huntingtin protein (mHTT) reduction [1][5][9][13].

Population

  • Global prevalence: ~4–12 per 100,000; higher in populations of European ancestry [2][6][18].

  • U.S.: ~41,000 symptomatic; >200,000 at-risk [17][20].

Burden

  • Life expectancy: 10–30 years post-onset; juvenile HD progresses faster [9][13].

  • High morbidity: Loss of independence, dysphagia, dementia, and suicide rates 4–8× higher than general population [9][13][16].

  • Economic/psychosocial strain: Full-time care required in advanced stages; significant caregiver burden [17][20].

Therapies

  • Symptomatic control: Chorea managed with VMAT2 inhibitors (tetrabenazine, deutetrabenazine), antipsychotics (olanzapine), and anti-glutamatergics (amantadine, riluzole) [3][9][19].

  • Supportive care: Physical/occupational therapy, psychiatric interventions, and caregiver support [1][17].

  • Emerging therapies: Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs, e.g., RG6042 in Phase 3), RNA interference, and CRISPR-based gene editing to reduce mHTT [7][11][15].

2026-08-14 | Real-world treatment patterns and outcomes of deutetrabenazine in patients with chorea associated with Huntington disease: A retrospective chart review study.

IntroductionReal-world evidence of deutetrabenazine (DTBZ) treatment for Huntington disease (HD)-associated chorea is limited.MethodsThis is a non-interventional, retrospective chart review study from a Huntington's Disease Society of America clinical practice at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Patients had a diagnosis of HD-associated chorea, DTBZ initiation (4/2017-12/2021), ≥2 visits at UAB, and ≥3 months of chorea-related care records post DTBZ initiation. The last Unified HD Rating Scale-Total Maximal Chorea (TMC) score within 3 months prior to DTBZ initiation and first after reaching the last stable dose during follow-up were analyzed.ResultsAmong 80 eligible patient charts, mean (SD) age was 52.1 (12.6) years and 45 (56.3%) were female. Fifty patients had pre- and post-DTBZ TMC scores and reached a stable dose, including 30 with no prior tetrabenazine (TBZ) or DTBZ exposure, 8 with prior TBZ exposure with a switch to DTBZ after a gap, and 9 with prior TBZ exposure with a switch to DTBZ without a gap. Mean (SD) TMC score decreased (i.e., improved) by 3.7 (4.5), 7.8 (2.8), and 2.1 (4.2), respectively. Overall, 27 (33.8%) patients had ≥1 adverse event recorded between DTBZ initiation and the first visit with a TMC score after reaching their last stable DTBZ dose or DTBZ discontinuation for those without a stable dose.DiscussionThis real-world study describes improvements in TMC scores among patients with HD-associated chorea treated with DTBZ, regardless of prior treatment. The observed safety profile supports the known safety profile of DTBZ in this population.

2026-08-12 | Blocking somatic repeat expansion and lowering huntingtin by RNAi synergize to attenuate Huntington's disease pathogenesis in mice.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no approved therapies. Despite multiple clinical trials, huntingtin (HTT)-lowering strategies have yet to show meaningful clinical benefit. Both somatic expansion and toxic HTT species are key molecular drivers of HD, yet therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways have never been directly compared or evaluated in combination. Using therapeutic divalent siRNAs, we assessed the long-term impact of silencing MutS homolog 3 (MSH3), a critical regulator of somatic expansion, HTT, or both in Q111 HD mice (>110 CAGs), which develop robust expansion, mutant HTT inclusions, and transcriptional dysregulation by 12 months. Long-term MSH3 silencing blocked somatic expansion, reduced inclusions, and normalized gene expression. HTT silencing alone had a limited effect, whereas combined MSH3/HTT targeting synergistically eliminated inclusions and restored transcriptomic profiles. Parallel treatment in wild-type mice showed no toxicity, supporting the safety of long-term intervention. These findings position somatic expansion as a promising therapeutic target and demonstrate the potential of RNAi-based cosilencing of MSH3 and HTT as a disease-modifying strategy for HD.

2026-08-09 | Molecular insights of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ signalling in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntington's disease.

Progressive neuronal loss is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Huntingtons disease (HD) and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) which are caused by convergent mechanisms such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, impaired autophagy and dysregulated cell death pathways. Both conditions share significant disruptions in metabolic and inflammatory signalling despite having different genetic origins and clinical manifestations; underscoring the necessity of pathway-oriented treatment approaches. In the central nervous system, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ), a ligand-activated nuclear receptor has become an important regulator of inflammation, redox homeostasis, mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular stress responses. After giving a thorough overview of PPAR-γ structure activation and transcriptional regulation and the PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis axis, this chapter delves deeply into its interactions with major signalling pathways such as NF-κB, Wnt/β-catenin Nrf2/ARE and the autophagy-apoptosis networks. With a focus on experimental data showing PPAR-γ signaling's neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and metabolic regulatory roles the pathophysiology of ALS and HD is critically investigated. Lastly the need for improved biomarkers, tailored multi-target strategies and selective modulators is highlighted in the discussion of current therapeutic limitations and translational difficulties.

2026-08-05 | Cholesterol nose-to-brain delivery as a possible therapeutic strategy in Huntington's disease.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetically dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by several pathological mechanisms, including the disruption of brain cholesterol homeostasis. In several HD animal models, brain cholesterol biosynthesis and levels are reduced. Since circulating cholesterol cannot reach the brain, providing exogenous cholesterol has been shown to improve HD phenotypes. However, the methods used for cholesterol delivery were invasive and not easily transferable to clinical practice. Cholesterol-enriched liposomes were developed by using freeze-and-thaw methods and were administered to R6/2 mice through a single or repeated intranasal administrations. Deuterated-cholesterol was used to discriminate exogenous from endogenous cholesterol. Exogenous cholesterol accumulation and distribution, as well as the levels of cholesterol precursors and metabolites, were measured using mass spectrometry. Behavioral tests, real-time PCR analysis, and immunostaining of mutant HTT (muHTT) aggregates were performed to verify the therapeutic effects of liposomes. Plasma neurofilament levels were measured by Simoa-Quanterix assay. We developed and characterized freeze-and-thaw liposomes. Then, we demonstrate that the exogenous cholesterol can spread throughout the entire brain following intranasal administration of cholesterol-enriched liposomes. Furthermore, repeated intranasal treatments with liposomes result in a full restoration of cognitive decline, and delayed the onset of coordination and motor impairment as well as the loss of muscular strength in the early stages of the disease. Cholesterol supplementation also reduced the plasma level of neurofilament light chain and promoted the clearance of muHTT aggregates. The findings support the effectiveness of cholesterol supplementation as a therapeutic strategy for HD and indicate the translational potential of nose-to-brain cholesterol delivery.

2026-07-24 | IL17A disrupts autophagy-lysosomal function and lysosome reformation through the GSK3B-TFE3 signaling pathway in Huntington disease.

Huntington disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the HTT (huntingtin) gene, leading to the accumulation of mutant HTT (mHTT). IL17A (interleukin 17A), a proinflammatory cytokine primarily secreted by Th17 and γδ T cells, has been implicated in immune-mediated neurodegeneration. However, the role of IL17A in the pathogenesis of HD remains poorly understood. Here, we identify IL17A as a critical pathogenic factor in HD that promotes neuroinflammation, mHTT aggregation, and autophagy-lysosomal dysfunction. IL17A disrupts autophagic flux by downregulating CTSB and CTSD, inducing SQSTM1/p62 and MAP1LC3B-II/LC3-II accumulation, and impairing lysosomal reformation. Mechanistically, IL17A suppresses lysosomal biogenesis by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of TFE3. This regulation occurs via a novel GSK3B/GSK-3β-TFE3 signaling pathway. Therapeutic neutralization of IL17A with a monoclonal antibody (IL17A mAb) ameliorates disease phenotypes in R6/2 HD mice, improving motor performance, extending survival, and reducing gliosis. IL17A mAb also attenuates mHTT aggregation and enhances neuroprotective signaling, as evidenced by increased expression of DLG4/PSD-95, phosphorylated CREB1, and BDNF. Moreover, IL17A mAb restores autophagy-lysosomal function by facilitating the clearance of protein aggregates and upregulating lysosomal enzymes and biogenesis markers, including CTSB, CTSD, PIP5K1A, and LAMP2. These findings establish IL17A as a key modulator of HD pathophysiology and highlight IL17A inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy for targeting autophagy-lysosomal dysfunction in HD.
