Some sources also suggest that gene therapy may also be an option in dealing with Huntington's disease. According to the Journal of Biological Chemistry, published in June 2009, explaining that a researcher has mengultur a cell that shows the formation of a gene RCAN known as RCAN-1L, these genes dramatically decreased in the brains of Huntington's disease. RCAN-1L was first discovered in the laboratory of the journal writer. Investigation of the study also showed an increase in the level of RCAN- 1L which later can save cells from the toxic effects of Huntington's disease, possibly sometime this gene may be one of the new therapies in dealing with Huntington's disease.
