HUNTINGTON'S PROGRAM NAMED CENTER OF EXCELLENCE The University of Virginia Health System's Huntington's Disease program has been named a Center of Excellence for the care of patients and families affected by the disease. The designation, one of ten in the country, was given by the Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA). U.Va.'s program uses a multidisciplinary approach to managing the symptoms of Huntington's Disease. In the Huntington's Disease clinic, appointments are available with a neurologist, psychiatrist, neuro-psychologist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech pathologist, genetic counselor and social worker. The monthly multidisciplinary clinic begins with a patient education presentation, followed by separate support group meetings for patients and family members. Huntington's disease is a rare disorder and most physicians have never cared for a patient with the disease. The clinic draws patients from hundreds of miles away. Over 100 patients have been seen since we opened in 1996, said Dr. Madaline Harrison, associate professor of neurology. Although there is no cure available yet, medications and supportive therapies can help control symptoms and maintain independence.

Contact Us To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to you to ask for your assistance, since I became ill with syringomyelia, spastic hemiplegia and complicated migraines, I have decided that I would like to create the following website for sufferers of neurological illnesses. Syringomyelia is a chronic disorder of the spinal cord, where cerebrospinal fluid enters the spinal cord, forming a syrinx. This syrinx often expands and elongates over time destroying the center of the spinal cord. As the nerve fibers inside the spinal cord are damaged, a wide variety of symptoms can occur depending upon the size and location of the syrinx. Spastic Hemiplegia affects one side of the body with increased tendon reflexes and spasms occurring in the affected muscles. The purpose of this website is to aid all persons suffering from any and all neurological illnesses with information and support. On this website users would be able to do the following: Chat with: Scheduled neurologists, nurses, psychologists and medical doctors

Anxiety Zone Forums Login Register Announcements ... Community Guidelines - Click on the banner above to visit the Anxiety Zone forums - Huntington's disease Huntington's disease or Huntington's chorea is an inherited disorder characterized by abnormal body movements called chorea, and loss of memory. We also have evidence that doctors as far back as the Middle Ages knew of this devastating disease. The incidence is 5 to 8 per 100,000. It takes its name from the New York physician George Huntington who first described it precisely in 1872. Short Summary by Abhinav Jain Bridgewater Raritan Regional High School Symptoms Genetics The causative gene (one of the first identified to cause an inherited disease) is located on chromosome 4. Huntington's disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. The autosomal dominant fashion means that the a recipient of the gene only needs one allele to inherit the disease. Most genetic diseases are autosomal recessive meaning that they need two alleles to inherit the disease. The dominant nature of Huntington's disease increases the chance of the disease occurring in offspring. A parent who has the disorder has a 50% chance of passing on the gene with each child. The product of this gene is a 350 kDa cytoplasmic protein called huntingtin. The continuous aggregation of huntingtin molecules in neuronal cells gives rise to cell death, especially in the frontal lobes and the basal ganglia (mainly in the caudate nucleus) by some unknown mechanism. Huntingtin has a characteristic sequence of fewer than 40 glutamine (CAG amino acid) residues in the normal form; the mutated huntingtin causing the disease has more than 40 residues. The severity of the disease is proportional to the number of extra residues.
