Dear Colleague,

We are delighted to announce the publication of Volume 7, Number 1 of the Journal of Huntington’s Disease (JHD).

In this issue, the second instalment of the Huntington's Disease (HD) Clinical Trials Corner is published. This section was introduced into the journal last year, and we are gratified that the inaugural article was the most viewed JHD article during the October 2017 period, and was one of the top ten most-viewed articles of 2017. We interpret this as evidence of a desire in our community for well-curated and comprehensive information about clinical trials in HD. Drs Wild and Rodrigues have done a wonderful job preparing this new JHD feature and have succeeded in presenting this very complex information in an accessible format. The Clinical Trials Corner will be a recurring, open access feature in JHD. The current issue's article includes a summary table listing the trials discussed in detail in the previous edition, and which will be updated in each successive Corner. We trust that our readers will continue to find this exciting new feature of JHD useful and informative.

This issue also contains one open acess review article. The full contents of this issue can be accessed from the list below.

Kind regards,
