Thomas's School of Medicine, London and Dr K Ray Chaudhuri , King's College Hospital and Guy's King's ST. Thomas's School of Medicine, London What is Huntington's disease? Huntington's disease (HD) was described by George Huntington (1850-1916) who was born in Long Island, New York. He described this disorder in his only known written article called 'on chorea'. Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder (inherited due to a faulty gene) which usually affects people in their 40s and 50s. It primarily affects the brain, with a gradual loss of control of movement, memory and mental ability. HD is also associated with personality changes and depression as well as other mental illnesses. There is currently no cure for HD, although many strategies may be used to improve the quality of life for sufferers and their carers.

Go To Main Page Alternate Names : Huntington Chorea Definition Huntington's disease is an inherited condition characterized by abnormal body movements, dementia , and psychiatric problems. Huntington's disease is a progressive disorder involving wasting (degeneration) of nerve cells in the brain. The disorder was first described in 1872 by George Huntington, an American physician. Huntington's disease is inherited as a single faulty gene on chromosome #4. There is a part of the gene that is repeated in multiple copies. The greater the number of repeats, the more likely it is that the person will develop symptoms and the greater the chance they will occur at a younger age. The disease may occur earlier and more severely in each succeeding affected generation because the number of repeats can increase. Every child of a parent with the disorder has a 50% chance of inheriting Huntington's Disease. Symptoms do not usually appear until adulthood, typically between ages 35 and 50 years old but this depends on the number of repeats found in the gene so it may also appear in younger people. In children it may appear to be Parkinson's disease with rigidity, slow movements, and tremor.

Occupational Therapy Revision Notes: Huntington's Disease (HD) Please note: This is a basic revision aid, not a comprehensive and reliable statement of medical fact. These notes should not be used to guide treatment. For reliable information and advice, consult a qualified practitioner. (Last updated: 19 March 2001) Prevalence 1:20000 worldwide, all ethnic groups. Some reports say 1:10000. Age at onset Usually 30-55 years old, but can be earlier or later. Cause Autosomal dominant genetic disorder ( i.e. if one parent has HD, there is a 50% chance of each child developing HD). See our separate guide to genetic conditions for a fuller explanation of genetic transmission. The gene for HD is on chromosome 4 and is involved in producing a protein called Huntingtin, but there is little more useful information on how this leads to damage to the central nervous system. Pathology Caudate nucleus atrophy with generalised cerebral atrophy and atrophy of the corpus striatum. The particular mechanisms are unknown. Presentation and symptoms Progressive dementia with increasingly prominent choreiform movements and likely personality and behavioural changes.

HD Blog Main October 09, 2003 A Mother's Diet - Epigenics Dean's World found an interesting article in the New York Times on epigenics - the study of how environmental factors interact with genes in the womb. Here's a highlight from the article "For example, why does one identical twin develop schizophrenia and not the other? Why do certain disease genes seem to affect or "penetrate" some people more than others? Why do complex diseases like autism turn up in more boys than girls? For answers, epigeneticists are looking at biological mechanisms other than mutation that affect how genes function. One, called methylation, acts like a gas pedal or brake. It can turn gene expression up or down, on or off, depending on how much of it is around and what part of the genetic machinery it affects. During methylation, a quartet of atoms called a methyl group attaches to a gene at a specific point and induces changes in the way the gene is expressed. " Wouldn't it be wonderful if researchers found that something in the mother's diet could lower the CAG count in a HD gene-positive baby? Perhaps even reducing the number of children affected by the Juvenile version of Huntington's Disease? Posted by Dave at October 9, 2003 05:25 AM

HD Blog Main February 20, 2004 HD Lighthouse has a good piece on diet and preserving the brain worth reading. Study after study shows that diet can affect the health of neural cells. While the study referenced isn't specifically about Huntington's Disease, Jerry is absolutely correct when he mentions that HD is age related. What he means is that the process that causes the early death of neural cells in HD is very similar to the process of cell death due to age. You can read the whole thing here.

That kind of fasting also protects nerve cells from genetically induced damage, says new research from the U.S. National Institute on Aging. The study is the first to suggest that changes in diet can have an effect on the course of Huntington's disease. If decreasing food intake has the same effect on humans, low-calorie diets or diets that feature reduced meal frequency may help delay the onset of Huntington's disease and extend the lives of people with the disease.
