Video Transcript:

I am absolutely thrilled and excited that we now have a potential treatment for this truly devastating disorder and what the data means is that for a person who has Huntington's disease, they will be able to maintain their function longer. They'll be able to stay in work longer, they'll be able to support their families longer, they'll be able to be independent. So, it will give them more years of living, a good quality of life.

It does make the future seem a little bit brighter, but it's definitely going to help. Definitely going to help with knowing that I have got more time here than perhaps I first thought.
