Huntington disease, a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor, behavioral, and cognitive decline, is caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene on chromosome 4. Current treatments target symptom management because there are no disease-modifying therapies at this time. Investigation of RNA-based and DNA-based treatment strategies are emerging and hold promise of possible future disease-modifying therapy.
