Somatic Expansion and Emerging Therapeutic Targets in Huntington disease

This patient engagement day will provide the Huntingtons disease community with accessible, up-to-date insights into somatic expansion of the Huntingtons disease CAG repeat and its role in disease progression. Attendees will gain an understanding of ongoing observational studies, clinical trials, and emerging therapeutic strategies targeting somatic expansion of the Huntington disease CAG repeat. Through presentations, interactive discussions, and “meet the scientists” sessions, patients, families, and carers will have opportunities to ask questions, clarify misconceptions, and deepen their scientific literacy.
