Map pages DHTML_MENU_rel_path = '/squizlib/dhtml_menu/images/'; Huntington's Disease Description Named after the American physician who initially described the inherited nature of the condition in 1872. Not the first to describe HD which can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Also known as Huntington’s chorea. Chorea is derived from the Greek word for dance and describes uncontrolled body movement. HD is an inherited disease of the brain that affects the nervous system. It is caused by a defective gene that is passed from parent to child. The HD gene interferes with the manufacture of a particular protein known as huntingtin which appears to be crucial for proper brain development. The classic signs of HD include emotional, cognitive and motor disturbances. Huntington’s is characterised by jerky involuntary movements (chorea), but sometimes causes rigidity without abnormal movements, changes in using the limbs (apraxia), loss of control of bodily functions and dementia, including a progressive deterioration of memory, speed of thought, judgement, lack of awareness of problems and planning. HD is an autosomal dominant disease which means a child only needs to inherit the gene from one parent to develop HD.

Click here to view next page of this article New Treatments for Huntington's Disease Huntington's disease is a movement disorder characterized by chorea and dementia. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and occurs throughout the world, in all ethnic groups. Clinical Findings Clinical onset is usually between 30 and 50 years of age. The disease is progressive and usually leads to a fatal outcome within 15 B 20 years. The initial symptoms may consist of tremor. Chorea developing with no family history of choreoathetosis should not be attributed to Huntington's disease, at least not until other causes of chorea have been found Treatment There is no cure for Huntington's disease, progression cannot be halted, and treatment is purely symptomatic. The reported biochemical changes suggest a relative underactivity of neurons containing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and acetylcholine or a relative overactivity of dopaminergic neurons. Treatment with drugs blocking dopamine receptors, such as phenothiazines or haloperidol, may control. Offspring should be offered genetic counseling. Now that the gene responsible.

In the US, approximately 35,000 patients show overt signs of the disease, with a further 75,000 carrying the abnormal gene. There are no existing treatments for the disease. Progress We have generated positive pre-clinical efficacy data in a Huntington's disease model with a cell line derived from the striatum region of the brain.

Book Illustrations GALLERIES Video Gallery Image Gallery PRIVACY Huntington's disease The case of Huntington's disease in South Africa provides a striking example of the founder effect. The Afrikaner population of South Africa is mainly descended from one shipload of immigrants which landed in 1652. The early colonists included individuals with a number of rare genes. The ship of 1652 contained a Dutch man carrying the gene for Huntington's disease, an autosomal dominant disease which does not appear until the sufferer is over 40 years old and leads to certain death within five to 10 years. Most cases of the disease in the modern Afrikaner population can be traced back to that individual. The individual carriers of the genes for Huntington's disease will have lower fitness than average, and selection will therefore act to reduce the frequency of the gene to zero. Thus its present high frequency suggests that the founder population had an even higher frequency, because it will have probably been decreased by selection since then. Any particular founder sample would not be expected to have a higher than average frequency of the Huntington's disease gene, but if enough colonizing groups set out, some of them are bound to have peculiar, or even very peculiar, gene frequencies.

Physicians prescribe a number of medications to help control emotional and movement problems associated with HD. Most drugs used to treat the symptoms of HD have side effects such as fatigue, restlessness, or hyperexcitability. It is extremely important for people with HD to maintain physical fitness as much as possible, as individuals who exercise and keep active tend to do better than those who do not. What is the prognosis? At this time, there is no way to stop or reverse the course of HD. Now that the HD gene has been located, investigators are continuing to study the HD gene with an eye toward understanding how it cause disease in the human body.

The study Finding answers The team at Sheffield worked with researchers at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh to study the genetic sequences and carefully check each result. All 200 samples were taken from anonymous donors across the UK and as far afield as Australia.

What is Huntington's Disease? Huntington's Disease is an inherited disorder resulting in the slow and irreversible loss of both mental and physical capacity. The usual age of onset is between 30 and 50, usually after a person has established a career, married and begun a family. Initial symptoms can be hard to detect and identify, including depression, mood swings, forgetfulness, and lack of coordination. The disease is relentlessly progressive, often taking between 10 and 25 years to fully manifest. Most late stages HD patients are totally dependent - they cannot walk, speak or swallow. HD sufferers usually die from pneumonia, heart failure or other complications. There is also a juvenile form that affects children as young as two years of age, which is more severe and progresses much faster. There are 30,000 persons in the United States currently diagnosed with HD and each of their siblings and children has a 50 percent chance of developing it. Anyone can carry the gene and develop HD, regardless of age, race ethnicity, gender, geographic location or socio-economic status. HD is a "family disease," not just because it is inherited from a parent, but also because it profoundly affects the entire family unit emotionally, socially and financially. Because of this, there are over 790,000 persons in the U.S. impacted by the disease. HD, like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Lou Gehrig's Disease takes a person away from their loved ones and the rest of the world long before it kills them - and death is the only true relief from the disease.

It can be used as a reference for those interested in learning more about the neurobiology of Huntington's Disease. The huntingtin protein consists of about 3,000 amino acids. Contents Overview History and Timeline Clinical and Neuropathological Features Diagnosis ... edit Overview Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded polyglutamine tract at the amino acid terminus of the protein huntingtin. It is characterized by a triad of progressive cognitive, motor, and psychiatric symptoms. Though individuals with HD can become symptomatic anytime from infancy to old age, onset is typically in middle age. Death generally occurs 15-20 years after first symptoms appear. The prevalence of Huntington's disease is 5-10 per 100,000, but can vary by geographical location. For instance, in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, the prevalence of HD is as high as 700 per 100,000. It is estimated that 30,000 people currently have HD in the United States. edit History and Timeline George Huntington In the late 19th century, Dr. George Huntington published a paper on the inheritance of a disease that ran in his family. It was characterized by "chorea," which is the Greek word for dance, referring to the twisting or writhing involuntary movements of HD patients. Although the disease bears his name, George Huntington was not the first to describe the disorderdescriptions of Huntington's disease-like symptoms can be traced back to the Middle Ages. However, only through the development of modern molecular genetic techniques were major advances made in elucidating the pathogenic process of this progressive disease.

Huntington's Disease Introduction Huntington's Disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by progressive loss of motor control and an increase in involunatry movements typically beginning in the latter part of the third decade of life. The disorder is found on the fourth chromosome and is categorized as a trinucleotide repeat disorder due to the massive numbers of CAG expanded repeats that may be found in the DNA.
