Global Huntington's Disease Therapeutics Market 2014-2018 - Novel Mechanisms Targeted by Pipeline Candidates
M2 - Tue Nov 11, 5:15AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lbsc46/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Huntington's Disease Therapeutics Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Huntington's Disease Therapeutics market to grow at a CAGR of 29.46 percent over the period 2013-2018. Huntington's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that can be inherited from one generation to another as an autosomal dominant trait. It arises due to genetically programmed degeneration of neurons in some parts of the brain such as basal ganglia and cerebral cortex. Basal ganglia plays an important role in coordinating movement while cerebral cortex regulates perception, thought, and memory. Degeneration of neurons leads to progressive cognitive impairment and dementia. One key trend emerging in this market is the targeting of novel mechanisms by pipeline molecules. Drugs with novel mechanisms might prove to be better treatment options and might affect the course of the disease through their neuroprotective effects. According to the report, one of the major drivers of the market is the unmet medical needs such as the lack of safe, efficacious, and disease-modifying treatments with regard to the treatment of Huntington's disease. Any drug that can cater to these needs is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Further, the report states that the poor diagnosis rate is one of the major challenges in this market. This delays the initiation of therapy and affects the quality of life of the patient.
