Early Biomarkers in Premanifest Huntington's Disease Gene Carriers: a Pilot Study

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if new, early biomarkers of the disease are available in presymptomatic genetic carriers of Huntington\'s diesase compared to healthy subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does functional brain MRI is able to detect early biomarkers of the disease in genetic carriers? Does gait study by a virtual reality device can detect early biomarkers of the disease in genetic carriers? Researchers will compare genetic carriers and healthy subjects to see if new, early biomarkers of the disease can be detected .

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - 1\. For PMGC: HD diagnosis confirmed by genetic testing (CAG triplets ≥36 in HTT gene); Unified Huntington Disease Rating Scale19 Total Motor Score (UHDRS-TMS) ≤ 5; age 18-70 years old. 2. For HC: normal neurological examination; age 18-70 years old. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Main exclusion criteria for both PMGC and HS will be: major ophthalmologic and psychiatric active diseases; cognitive impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA score \< 25/30); gait issues related to non-neurological conditions; contraindications to brain MRI. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
