Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by an abnormal expansion of a CAG repeat in exon 1 of the HD gene on chromosome 4. The disease runs a debilitating and progressive course with an average survival of 15-25 years after disease onset. HD patients classically...
Huntington's is abraindisorder that gets progressively worse over time, leading to problems withmovement and thinking. We know that thediseaseis caused by a single faulty gene, which in itself is very unique. Often if you have particular genes, your risk of developing certain diseases might inc...
By identifying in spinal fluid how the characteristic mutant proteins of Huntington's disease spread from cell to cell, UC Irvine scientists and colleagues have created a new method to quickly and accurately track the presence and proliferation of these neuron-damaging compounds—a discovery that may...

Huntington's disease is a degenerative, hereditary, genetic illness similar to Parkinson's and it affects one in 10,000 in the population. Not only does it destroy the person - mind and body - but it destroys entire families as well. West Belfast journalist SHANE McKAY writes of the havoc...
A hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's is the progressive death of nerve cells in the brain. The cells don't die quickly, though. They first start to disconnect from each other because their neurites—long finger-like extensions that make connections all through the brain—bec...
