    Extractions: Glossary In 1872, the American physician George Huntington wrote about an illness that he called "an heirloom from generations away back in the dim past." He was not the first to describe the disorder, which has been traced back to the Middle Ages at least. One of its earliest names was chorea which, as in "choreography," is the Greek word for dance. The term chorea describes how people affected with the disorder writhe, twist, and turn in a constant, uncontrollable dance-like motion. Later, other descriptive names evolved. "Hereditary chorea" emphasizes how the disease is passed from parent to child. "Chronic progressive chorea" stresses how symptoms of the disease worsen over time. Today, physicians commonly use the simple term Huntington's disease (HD) to describe this highly complex disorder that causes untold suffering for thousands of families.

    Extractions: Volume 9, Number 2 This Issue Contents Next Article Huntington’s Disease (HD) is an important neurodegenerative disease by virtue of its genetic inheritance, clinical manifestations, and devastating impact on families. The biological basis, differential diagnosis, and treatment is reviewed in-depth. Care for patients, specialized genetic testing protocols, and opportunities for enrollment in clinical research trials are offered as part of the CNI Movement Disorders Center. Introduction . The clinical syndrome known as Huntington’s disease was delineated in 1872 by George Huntington. He reported, “Hereditary chorea... confined to certain, and fortunately, a few families, and has been transmitted to them. An heirloom from generations away back in the dim past. It is spoken of by those in whose veins the seeds of the disease are known to exist, with a kind of horror.... There are three marked peculiarities in this disease: (1) Its hereditary nature; (2) A tendency to insanity and suicide, and (3) It’s manifesting itself as a grave disease only in adult life.” The degeneration of the striatum was recognized as the essential neuropathologic feature around the turn of the century.

It also lowers levels of chemicals called neurotransmitters that carry signals in the brain. Loss of these cells and neurotransmitters causes uncontrolled movements, loss of mental abilities, and changes in personality, emotional state, or behavior. Mental, emotional, or behavioral decline severe enough to interfere with the ability to carry out everyday activities is known as dementia.

    Extractions: The Tyler Medical Clinic Assisted Conception - Affordable Infertility Treatments - List of Diseases - Huntington's Disease Huntington’s Disease is an inherited neurological disorder. It is caused by the degeneration of brain cells in certain parts of the brain. An estimated 250,000 individuals in the United States are either affected or are at risk of inheriting the disease from an affected parent. Huntington’s Disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant trait; a parent affected by Huntington’s Disease has a 50-50 chance of passing on the disease to the child. It affects males and females equally and does not predominate in any specific ethnic or socioeconomic background. Onset of Huntington’s Disease generally begins in mid-life, although symptoms may occur as early as the age of two years. In cases of childhood onset of the disease, children affected rarely live through their teens. Early signs of Huntington’s Disease include depression, mood swings, forgetfulness, clumsiness, involuntary twitching and lack of coordination. As the disease progresses, lack of concentration, diminished short-term memory and judgement, and involuntary movements of the head, trunk and limbs become more evident. Walking, speaking and swallowing become more and more difficult and eventually, an individual with Huntington’s Disease is unable to care for him or herself. Death may occur from choking, infection or heart failure. At present, there is no cure for Huntington’s Disease. Treatments are directed towards the symptoms and not the disease itself. Various medications are often prescribed to control emotional and movement problems. Antidepressants and tranquilizers may also be prescribed for severe depression and anxiety. Medications are prescribed at the lowest possible dose to prevent or minimize any undesirable side effects. Patients are urged to stay physically active by incorporating an exercise regime, such as walking, in their daily program. Their diet is also strictly monitored to ensure that they are getting the proper amount of nutrients.

    Extractions: National Institutes of Health Home About MedlinePlus ... Contact Us Search MedlinePlus Huntington's disease is a disorder passed down through families in which certain nerve cells in the brain waste away, or degenerate. American doctor George Huntington first described the disorder in 1872. Huntington's disease is caused by a genetic defect on chromosome #4. The defect causes a part of DNA, called a CAG repeat, to occur many more times than it is supposed to. Normally, this section of DNA is repeated 10 to 35 times. But in persons with Huntington's disease, it is repeated 36 to 120 times. As the gene is passed on from one generation to the next, the number of repeats - called a CAG repeat expansion - tend to get larger. The larger the number of repeats, the greater your chance of developing symptoms at an earlier age. Therefore, as the disease is passed along in families, it becomes evident at younger and younger ages. There are two forms of Huntington's disease. The most common is adult-onset Huntington's disease. Persons with this form usually develop symptoms in their mid 30s and 40s.

People are born with the defective gene, but symptoms usually don't appear until middle age. Early symptoms of HD may include uncontrolled movements, clumsiness or balance problems. Later, HD can take away the ability to walk, talk or swallow. Some people stop recognizing family members. Others are aware of their environment and are able to express emotions. If one of your parents has Huntington's disease, you have a 50-50 chance of getting it. A blood test can tell if you have the HD gene and will develop the disease. Genetic counseling can help you weigh the risks and benefits of taking the test. There is no cure. Medicines can help manage some of the symptoms, but cannot slow down or stop the disease.

First described by Dr. George Huntington in 1872, Huntington's disease affects an estimated 30,000 Americans, a prevalence of about 1 in every 10,000 people. The prevalence of Huntington disease is between three and seven per 100,000 in populations of Western European descent. Cause of Huntington's disease Huntington's disease is inherited. The gene that causes Huntington's disease was discovered in 1993. It is an autosomal dominant disease that can be inherited from either the father or the mother. Any child, male or female, has a fifty percent chance of getting the disease themselves. Everyone who carries the gene will develop the disease. Huntington's does not skip generations.

It is the most common genetic cause of abnormal involuntary writhing movements called chorea . It is much less common in people of Asian or African descent than in people from Western Europe. The disease is caused by a mutation carried on an autosomal chromosome . It is inherited dominantly , such that each child of an affected parent has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. Physical symptoms of Huntington's disease can begin at any age from infancy to old age, but are usually first noticed in middle-age, between 35 and 44 years of age, often when affected individuals have had children. On rare occasions, when symptoms begin before about 20 years of age, they progress faster and vary slightly, and the disease is classified as juvenile akinetic-rigid or Westphal variant HD . The disease is caused by a mutation in the Huntingtin gene, which normally provides the
