HDBuzz is back for the last day of the CHDI HD Therapeutics Conference: Thursday February 29th in Palm Springs, California. This article summarizes our real-time updates of the conference in community-friendly language.

From genes to medicines

The morning session will focus on how human genetics is driving the development of therapeutics. “Genetic modifiers” are genes that influence when HD symptoms onset, and human data is extremely valuable to discover new drug targets.

Scientists can only find these modifiers when they have access to huge amounts of genetic data, so every single person from an HD family who contributed samples and signed those consent forms played an important role in all of these discoveries.

Vanessa Wheeler: expansion of CAGs and HD modifiers

The first speaker of the morning is Vanessa Wheeler, from Massachusetts General Hospital & Harvard Medical School. Vanessa’s team are experts on somatic instability (expansion of CAGs) and have been busy researching modifiers.

Terapeutická konferencia v Palm Springs : Deň 1,  : Začalo to prednáškami o CAG opakovaniach a ich význame pri prepuknutí choroby. V ďalšej z prednášok predstavili výsledky znižovania Huntingtínu u dospelých myší a preukázali, že nie je ideálne veľmi znížiť hladinu Huntingtínu prípadne ho úplne odstrániť. Zameranie sa na len mutovaný proteín by mohlo mať …

It’s a brain disease

This morning’s session is titled “It’s a brain disease” and will feature talks about BRAINSSSS! HD scientists are a bit like zombies - they love brains! The session chairs posed big questions to the audience, such as: why does HD affect the brain? Why does it affect certain cells in the brain? And why does HD affect people at the time in their life that it does. This season’s talks tried to address these questions from a variety of different angles.

Christopher Walsh: DNA “signatures” of brain cells in aging and disease

Risale al 2008 l’istituzione di questa ricorrenza proprio nella giornata del 29 febbraio che cede al 28 negli anni non bisestili. La scelta di questa data simbolica risponde alla volontà di sottolineare come raro non sia necessariamente sinonimo: di unico, tanto da ricapitare ciclicamente; di unità, data la significativa numerosità di malattie che si riconoscono […]

Dňa 28.2.2024 sme sa zúčastnili návštevy pani u pani prezidentky ktorú realizovala Slovenská aliancia zriedkavých chorôb. Pani prezidentke som dal knižku Slnko vo Vetre, ktoré opisujem život s Huntingotnovou chorobou. Bola to veľká česť môcť sa zúčastniť tohoto stretnutia s týmito skvelými ľuďmi. Na ďalší deň bola realizovaná diskusná relácia ktorej záznam prikladám : tu.

From Tuesday February 27th through Thursday February 29th, we live-tweeted dozens of scientific talks by world experts in Huntington’s disease research, from bench scientists to clinicians. We’ve compiled our tweets into a summary of the entire conference, beginning with Day 1.

Huntingtin Homework: Teaching an Old Dogma New Tricks

The first session of the conference focused on huntingtin, the gene that expands to cause HD. The meeting kicked off with Gill Bates, who reviewed what we know about the genetics of HD, which is that the length of CAG repeats in the huntingtin gene dictates whether people will develop HD. More recently, lengthening of the CAG repeat in some brain cells, known as somatic expansion, has been implicated in driving the disease.
