## Abstract Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder. The mutation which causes the disease is an expansion in the number of repetitions of three nucleotides, C, A, and G in exon 1 of the huntingtin gene. The gene normally has 15 to 30 repeats and an expansion to 40 or m

Abstract
Seven HD gene positive individuals under the age of 21 years are described with clinical examination and protonβMRβspectroscopy (^1^HβMRS) profiles of the putamen. Despite clinical variability, the predominate ^1^HβMRS abnormality is elevated glutamate, expressed well beyond the confines of the basal ganglia, and low striatal creatine.

## Abstract Transcriptional dysregulation in Huntington's disease (HD) is mediated in part by aberrant patterns of histone acetylation. We performed a doseβfinding study in human HD of sodium phenylbutyrate (SPB), a histone deacetylase inhibitor that ameliorates the HD phenotype in animal models. W
## Abstract Although paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) has characteristic clinical features, the pathophysiology of PKD has remained unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pathophysiology of idiopathic PKD by performing proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (^1^HβMRS) in f
