Huntington's Disease

An overview of Huntington's Disease, including origin of name, symptoms and treatment.

A sudden change in the mental state is called Huntington's disease, also known as Huntington's chorea, which causes progressive degenerative brain disease. This leads to certain nerve cells to disappear my from your system.

A look at a genetic disorder called Huntington's and the symptoms that accompany it.

Symptoms and treatment of Huntington's disease. HD is a neurodegenerative genetic disease.

Huntington's disease (sometimes called Huntington's chorea) is a health condition in which definite nerve cells in the brain degenerate. This condition is the result of an inherent imperfection in chromosome 4.

Genetic testing for Huntington's disease can help confirm or diagnose this condition. However, there are a few considerations to this type of genetic testing.

Kathleen Edward, terminally ill with Huntington's Disease, received a large shopping spree from generous donors after being cruelly taunted and bullied by her adult neighbors.

This article talks briefly about Huntington's Disease.

As the number of retired adults continues to rise in the U.S., the cases of age-related Huntington's disease is also on the rise. Here is what retired adults need to know about symptoms and treatment.

For adults entering into retirement, sudden weight loss may be indicative of a progressive disorder known as Huntington's disease.

Huntington's disease or also known as Huntington's chorea is a neurodegenerative disease that causes degeneration of nerve cells in the brain.

In 1872, Doctor George Huntington discovered this disorder known as Huntington's disease. The cause of this disease is from a genetic defect on chromosome #4 and passes through the generations from parent to the child.

This devastating disease is passed from parent to child. If one of your parents suffered from HD, there is a 50% chance you are also carrying the defective gene.

French researchers have announced that gene therapy that has been tested on subjected lab animals shows promising results for combating the tragic neurogenerative disease know as Huntington's disease.
