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...
obsessive compulsive disorder, and Tourette's syndrome. In this study, at least one of the genes that the researchers discovered was overexpressed in the striosomes of Huntington's brains is also linked to autism.
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...
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...

To evaluate the potential for refinement, as well as its implementation in research, we analysed papers on murine models of Huntington's disease (HD) published between 1999 and 2009 (n = 233). Each study was classified according to a four-level severity scale, in terms of the disease stage...
Huntington's Disease normally causes dementia as parts of the nervous system begin to fail. Finally, dementia can also develop in people with Parkinson's Disease, another nervous system disorder. Dealing with dementia: Home care and the different stages Because dementia can cause all-encompassing ...

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...
