Although patients are typically treated with drugs that can modify symptoms, none of these current drug regimens are thought to modify the onset, progress, or ultimate fatality of HD. A major step forward in terms of understanding the mechanism underlying HD and thus toward developing rational approaches to drug development occurred in 1993 with the cloning of the
