Neurosurgical therapy possibilities in treatment of Huntington disease: An update
Abstract
Introduction: Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary condition caused by the expansion of the CAG trinucleotide in the huntingtin gene on chromosome 4, resulting in motor, cognitive, and psychiatric disorders that significantly impact patients' quality of life. Despite the lack of effective treatments for the disease, various surgical strategies have been explored to alleviate symptoms and slow its progression.
