The month of May is Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month and 15 May was Huntington Awareness Day. Åsa Petersén was invited to take part in a podcast about the disease, together with Jozefine, who is a carrier of the gene and related to a person diagnosed with HD.

The podcast is produced by YTAN, Young Together Against Neurodegenerative Diseases, a digital platform for young relatives of persons with a neurodegenerativ disease. YTAN is financed through a project with funds from the Swedish Inheritance Fund.

Link to the podcast “Jozefine, ung anlagsbärares frågor till forskaren, Åsa Petersén om Huntingtons sjukdom” (“Jozefine, a young genetic carrier’s questions to researcher Åsa Petersén about Huntington’s disease”); opens in a new window. The podcast is available on YTAN:s webpage, in Swedish only.
