What is Huntington Disease?Institute, Genetics
What causes Huntington's disease? Huntington's disease is inherited and caused by the mutated HTT gene, which instructs the brain to make a protein named huntingtin. Huntingtin sustains the function of brain cells and helps contribute to their functions. It's also found in bodily tissue, but ...
What is Huntingtons Disease? Huntington's Disease is a devastating, hereditary, degenerative brain disorder for which there is, at present, no cure and only one FDA-approved treatment (Xenazine) for a symptom of HD.. HD slowly diminishes the affected ind
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a hereditary, progressive brain disorder characterized by uncontrolled movements, mental instability, and loss of thinking ability. There is no cure for HD and no way to stop it from worsening. It is an autosomal dominant disease, which means that if one parent h...
Huntington's disease.This is caused by a problem with a gene you get from one of your parents. It affects the central part of your brain – the area that helps you think, move, and show emotion. Symptoms typically start between ages 30 and 50. Uncontrolled arm, leg, head, face, and...
The basis for unraveling the pathophysiological mechanisms in Huntington’s disease (HD) was the identification of the HD gene defect and the subsequent development of genetically modified animal models of the disease. In particular, studies in transgeni

Cyclin dependent kinase 5 regulatory subunit-associated protein 2 (CDK5RAP2) has gained attention in the last years following the discovery, in 2005, that recessive mutations cause primary autosomal recessive microcephaly. This disease is seen as an isolated developmental defect of the brain, particula...
