The next World Congress on Huntington's Disease will be held in Manchester (UK) from Saturday 10th September to Tuesday 13th September 2005.

The Congress is a joint meeting of the World Federation of Neurology Research Group on Huntington's Disease and the International Huntington Association (IHA), organised every two years in association with the other clinical, scientific and patients' organisations concerned with HD.  Since the 2003 Congress in Toronto the meeting has been restructured to offer a scientific program open to both researchers and HD organisations.  The scientific programme will include presentations covering genetics and genetic counselling, drug discovery and development, pathogenesis, clinical neurology, neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, the latest advances in therapeutics, clinical trials, public policy and education, given by some of the leading clinical and scientific researchers in the field. The Congress will therefore be of interest to all researchers and health professionals interested in HD, and to members of the HD organisations.
