Thank you for the amazing work you do 😊

I am here after watching Dr House, just needed more information about this disease. Thanks!

Html. Anthony don’t ever worry about having it! The worst thing you can do is ponder on that thought. I had an uncle commit suicide because of his fears; live your best life! Huntington’s does not define you or your family :) good luck!

One sign of Huntington's disease potential, is the existence of a number of repetitions of the sequence of nitrogenous bases cytosine-adenine-guanine ( CAG triplets ) above a threshold ( 36 repeats or more ); if my hypothesis for the molecular mechanism of Huntington's disease is right, then maybe the existing drugs DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors azacytidine and decitabine could help to slow down the onset of the disease, maybe even alleviate the symptoms, in spite of the drugs side effects. In short, I noticed that an inadvertent methylation of the 5-carbon in a cytosine, followed by spontaneous deamination of that citosine, would create a STOP codon (TAG instead of CAG amid many CAG triplet repeats), as you can see in a DNA genetic code table: @t A STOP codon would of course interrupt the protein synthesis and if that is indeed the cause of fragmented proteins, DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors could help. Here it is a DNA genetic code table where one of the possible STOP codons ( TAG ) can be seen above the codon CAT: Google dna genetic code I've found an article about the formation of a similar STOP codon from another triplet sequence that begins with cytosine: google: Arginine CGA codons as a source of nonsense mutations: a possible role in multivariant gene expression, control of mRNA quality, and aging. Talk to doctors about this, until you find someone who will examine my idea. I hope I can help. Good luck.

This disease reminds me so much of battens disease. Seriously one of the scariest diseases, god bless those who have it

cool stuff hope you manage to find a new treatment approach

My dad has Huntington’s disease, I’ve never been tested for it, and I’m scared to find out. I also have four siblings that don’t know. My dad is starting to deteriorate and I take care of him, but I’m leaving for basic training for the Air Force next month and I’m worried for him.

I recommend you Google Mayo clinic/Huntington's disease. The Mayo is a world renound clinic in Minnesota, Scottsdale, Florida. I promise you'll learn so much. Also, there are clinical trials going on at John Hopkins creating medication to help with the nerve cells in the brain. So... hope is on the way. One more thing, have a strong faith in God. He works profound miracles well beyond our comprehension. Ask Him to take away your worries and fears and trust Him with all your heart.

Don't get tested pr tell the military you may have it until later. They won't ever test for that or find out. Don't get tested until your stable and older in your career. I have it, my mother has it. Lots of cousins and my mother made it to 74 this year and she's just starting to shake and get bad. Just do not have any children unless your tested first the gene passed from a man to their children is worse then a female.

I'm 45 and I've known for 3 years I have it cause I got my mother tested , my uncle died from it. Anyways I have 5 children and I'm scared to death for them. I would of never had children had I known I have this horrible disease. I also wish I didn't know that i was dying. It messes with your mental for sure. But at least I know now what was wrong with me and why I behave the way i do.

This is heartbreaking.

Would this present with someone losing control of motor function in their arms and neck? My dad is being told he has a upper motor neuron disease and I think it’s ALS but from what I read this seems similar.

Huntington's normally presented with loss of motor control, yes. It generally is not "ticks" or repetitive motions - it's called "chorea" and is more of a random/dancing like movement. If he is experiencing that - I'd recommend getting it looked into.

My mum’s got it and I’m considered a young career for her.

4 years ago I was diagnosed of HUNTINGTON DISEASE and I have tried all I can to get cured but all to no avail, until i saw a post in a health forum about a herbalist man who prepare herbal medication to cure all kind of diseases including HUNTINGTON DISEASE , at first i doubted if it was real but decided to give it a try, when i contact this herbalist via his email and he prepared an HUNTINGTON DISEASE herbal cure and sent it to me via UPS delivery company service,when i received this herbal cure, he gave me step by directions on how to apply it, when i applied it as instructed, i was totally cured of this deadly disease within 1 months of usage, I am now free from HUNTINGTON DISEASE ,all thanks to Dr Joshua Ighalo. you can also reach this great herbal doctor for help . He can help get rid of yours permanently.. Also specialize in treating all kinds of illness, HERPES VIRUS, HEPATITIS B, CANCER, BRAIN DISEASE, INFERTILITY, DIABETES AND MORE. ....

Neurons start to die off, generally the symptoms present themselves around age 40 and get worse and worse. Most will die from the disease by age 60 or so. As the disease progresses, the patients lose more and more motor control, resulting in twitchy erratic movements that have a severe impact on quality of life (harder to eat and walk, impossible to drive, etc.). End stage of disease affects cognition as well. Similar to diseases like parkinsons and alzheimers, it just takes away your life bit by bit. Dreadful disease. Luckily research is making great strides, we may see a cure within our lifetimes.
