Huntington disease new trails that shows potential for patients:

Landmark CRISPR trial shows promise against deadly disease

Administering gene-editing treatment directly into the body could be a safe and effective way to treat a rare, life-threatening condition.

From Huntington Facebook page another patient that describes his life effect by HD I feel the same:
"I'm a tough individual! I worked hard and enjoyed my life! But this disease got the best of me! It is not something you can ignore! The longer you ignore it the stronger it becomes! It starts slowly with anxiety and depression! Then the mood swings and anger issues! You slowly shut the world people out and you don't realize it's happening! You're no longer happy about anything! You try to push through but the harder you push the harder you fall down! All you want to do is be normal again and be able to go and do things! But you have little to no energy! You want to shut out the world and crawl into a cave! You start losing your balance you twitch sll the time its very depressing!"""

Huntington Disease MRI FINDS biomarkers I not sure what that means but this webpage explains:

Scans measure blood volume in the brain, assessing oxygen levels and helping to track progress of gene-editing therapies.

A panel of experts has developed guidelines around the ethics of gene editing. The New York Times reports on the committee’s work, which focuses on safety, equity, and burden on patients. HD was considered as an example of a disease where complex ethical issues might arise.

W.H.O. Experts Seek Limits on Human Gene-Editing Experiments (Published 2021)

The panel also called on countries to ensure that beneficial forms of genetic alteration be shared equitably.

I wish any political parties would care about health issues not just pretend to:

#"""HDSAFamily thanks Rep. Jake Auchincloss for cosponsoring #HR2050 the #HDParityAct. #HuntingtonsDisease families can't wait #2years to access crucial #Medicare benefits through #SSDI. Let's #PassTheHDParityAct in 2021!""
