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...
Huntington's disease leads to degeneration of brain structures called thebasal ganglia, which are responsible for control of movement and also play roles in other behaviors, as well as emotions. For many years, Graybiel has been studying the striatum, a part of the basal ganglia that is involv...
The discovery of a polymorphic DNA marker for Huntington's Disease (HD) in 1983, and the specific gene responsible in 1993, led to predictive testing programmes out of which came research into whether or not cognitive impairment was present presymptomatically in those at risk for HD. The result...
UCI is a leading center for research on Huntington's disease and other related neurodegenerative disorders. Its scientists have helped identify mechanisms underlying HD and are actively pursuing the creation of novel therapies. Earlier this year, study contributor Leslie Thompson of UCI's Sue & Bill ...

Pruning roses is not as complicated as it may seem, though it’s important to follow the right technique based on the type of rose you have. Here’s how—and when—to prune the roses in your garden! Sure, pruning roses can be a chore, but your efforts will be rewarded by a healthie...
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of motor control and cognitive ability, which eventually leads to death. The mutant huntingtin protein (HTT) exhibits an expansion of a pol
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 classicall...
