After years of frustration, researchers believe a new frontier might be opening in treating Huntington&#8217;s disease.<br \/>\nWhen I return two years after my first visit Jim just passed away, half a year before that Austin died in Huntington as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-Pieter Ten Hoopen<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_third  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_hr  column-top-margin\" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div><div  style='height:30px' class='hr hr-invisible  av-medium-hide av-small-hide av-mini-hide  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_third  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_third  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><div  class='avia-image-container  av-styling-no-styling    avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><a href=\"https:\/\/agencevu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01_HTP12792-2002NB02-1030x701.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/agencevu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01_HTP12792-2002NB02-1030x701.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/agencevu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01_HTP12792-2002NB02-80x54.jpg 80w, https:\/\/agencevu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01_HTP12792-2002NB02-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agencevu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01_HTP12792-2002NB02-768x523.jpg 768w, https:\/\/agencevu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01_HTP12792-2002NB02-1500x1021.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/agencevu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01_HTP12792-2002NB02-705x480.jpg 705w, https:\/\/agencevu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01_HTP12792-2002NB02-450x306.jpg 450w, https:\/\/agencevu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01_HTP12792-2002NB02.jpg 1586w\" href=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" class='avia_image' ><img width=\"1586\" height=\"1080\" class='wp-image-103648 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-103648 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/agencevu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01_HTP12792-2002NB02.jpg\" alt='' title='USA, Iowa, Des Moines, September 2002 - Bengtson family.
