About VY-HTT01
Huntington’s disease is a fatal, inherited neurodegenerative disease that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, resulting in a range of motor, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. Symptom onset typically occurs between the ages of 30 to 50 and the average length of survival after clinical diagnosis is typically 10 to 20 years. Huntington’s disease is the most common monogenic neurological disorder in the developed world and is estimated to affect over 40,000 people in the U.S. Currently, there are no approved treatments targeting the underlying cause of the disease.
