Keywords: Neuroinflammation, Quantitative Susceptibility mapping, Huntington's DiseaseHD is a rare, autosomal dominant inherited, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder. Strong evidence suggests a significant role for iron accumulation and neuroinflammation in HD. Previous studies already showed iron accumulation in the brain of patients with HD, but no other study linked these results with well-accepted biofluid biomarkers for neuroinflammation, or with neuroimaging methods to assess neuroinflammation. This study will provide an important basis for the evaluation of brain iron levels and neuroinflammation metabolites as imaging biomarkers for disease state and progression in HD and their relationship with the salient pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease.
