Safety and tolerability assessment of intrastriatal neural allografts in five patients with Huntington's disease.

This study describes issues related to the safety and tolerability of fetal striatal neural allografts as assessed in five patients with Huntington's disease. Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by motor, cognitive, and behavioral disturbances. The latter include psychological disturbances and, as a consequence, we took particular care to analyze behavioral changes, in addition to the usual "safety" follow-up.
