Motor dysfunction and cognitive impairment are major symptoms in both Huntington’s Disease (HD) and Parkinson’s Disease (PD). A breakthrough in HD research occurred in 1993, with the identification of the gene causing this devastating monogenetic illness. Since 1996, several genes were reported to c...
