Huntington's disease is a genetically inherited condition that gradually damages brain function. It progresses over time, often proving fatal by the age of 40 - 50. It can lead to a change in your behaviour and interfere with: 1. Movements of your body. 2. Reasoning. 3. Awareness. 4. Thinking. 5. Judgement (cognition). The disease was named after G...
Huntington's disease affects between 11 - 14 people per 100,000 in the UK, the rest of Europe and North America. Worldwide, it seems to be more common amongst white populations than amongst Asian or African people. Huntington's disease affects both men and women equally.
The symptoms of Huntington's disease can vary from person to person, and gradually worsen over time. Symptoms can develop at any time, but they tend to emerge between the age of 30 and 50. Symptoms are grouped into three areas: 1. Movement. 2. Cognitive. 3. Mood and behavioural problems.
Juvenile Huntington's disease is less common than the form which presents later. Symptoms begin in childhood or adolescence (before the age of 20). Around 5 - 10% of all cases of Huntington's disease present at this age. Symptoms are similar to Huntington's disease which presents as an adult, they just occur earlier.
If you are experiencing any sort of neurological symptoms then it is important to see a doctor - there are a wide variety of possible causes, including Huntington's disease and other causes. If you know that you have a family history of Huntington's disease, make sure that you mention that at the appointment.
Huntington's disease is caused by a defective gene that you inherit from your parents. Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant condition, meaning you can inherit the disease from just one of your parents. If one of your parents has a faulty copy of the gene, there is a 50:50 chance that each child they have will inherit the faulty gene. If a ...
Genetic testingis used to confirm whether you carry the faulty gene that causes Huntington's disease. It is recommended that you undergo counselling if you are considering genetic testing. Your GP will be able to refer you to a specialist who is a genetic counsellor.
At present there is no cure for Huntington's disease. Also, no treatment has been found to delay the onset or progression of symptoms. So, treatment is aimed at trying to control symptoms as much as possible when they do develop. These include: 1. Medications for physical problems. 2. Medications for psychological problems. 3. Physiotherapy. 4. Occ...
Huntington's disease slowly progresses and symptoms increase and worsen over time. In the later stages of Huntington's disease, you will become totally dependent on other people and require full-time care. Huntington's disease leads to considerable disability and, at present, will eventually lead to death. Currently, most people live from between 1...
If you carry the defective Huntington's disease gene, for each child that you have, there is a 50:50 chance that they will also have Huntington's disease. If you or your partner have Huntington's disease, prenatal testing is available. This can show whether your baby has the defective gene and therefore whether they will develop the disease. Howeve...
