Thank you for your work. I finally understand how gene therapy helps in HD and I hope my final project about understanding this disease is given an A+.

Very comprehensive and understandable presentation! This was great, thank you! My wife has HD and though I understand a lot (constantly looking at research) this really helped reinforce concepts and helped me learn more!
