Neural and biomarker correlates of the Parkinson's Disease–Cognitive Rating Scale in Huntington's disease [PDF]

NeuroImage: Reports
Background: Cognitive decline is a core feature of Huntington's disease (HD), often preceding motor symptoms and progressing with disease severity. While several neuropsychological tests track cognitive changes, few studies have examined the biological ...

Exploration of the genetic neuroinflammatory environment in the human midcingulate cortex in Huntington’s disease [PDF]

Communications Medicine
Background Despite progress, the pathophysiology involving neuroinflammation in Huntington’s disease remains uncertain, and the genetic environment of the midcingulate cortex in the disease has not been investigated.

Huntington disease [PDF]

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2015
Huntington disease is devastating to patients and their families - with autosomal dominant inheritance, onset typically in the prime of adult life, progressive course, and a combination of motor, cognitive and behavioural features. The disease is caused by an expanded CAG trinucleotide repeat (of variable length) in HTT, the gene that encodes the ...

Altered iron and myelin in premanifest Huntington's Disease more than 20 years before clinical onset: Evidence from the cross-sectional HD Young Adult Study

EBioMedicine, 2021
Background: Pathological processes in Huntington's disease (HD) begin many years prior to symptom onset. Recently we demonstrated that in a premanifest cohort approximately 24 years from predicted disease onset, despite intact function, there was ...

Progressive alterations in white matter microstructure across the timecourse of Huntington's disease

Brain and Behavior, 2023
Background Whole‐brain longitudinal diffusion studies are crucial to examine changes in structural connectivity in neurodegeneration. Here, we investigated the longitudinal alterations in white matter (WM) microstructure across the timecourse of ...

Ex vivo 100 μm isotropic diffusion MRI‐based tractography of connectivity changes in the end‐stage R6/2 mouse model of Huntington's disease

Neuroprotection, 2023
Background Huntington's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Brain atrophy, as measured by volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is a downstream consequence of neurodegeneration, but microstructural changes within brain tissue are ...

Huntington's Disease [PDF]

Nursing Standard, 2004
Huntington's disease is a complex degenerative disorder that affects the central nervous system. Although it is a rare condition, nurses are ideally placed to assess and manage patients with the disease, while also providing information and support to family members.

Huntington's Disease [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2011
Huntington's disease (HD) is the most common inherited neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by uncontrolled excessive motor movements and cognitive and emotional deficits. The mutation responsible for HD leads to an abnormally long polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the huntingtin (Htt) protein, which confers one or more toxic functions to ...

Case report: Cerebellar sparing in juvenile Huntington's disease

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
Juvenile Huntington's disease is an early-onset variant of Huntington's disease, generally associated with large CAG repeats and distinct clinical symptoms. The role of the cerebellum in Huntington's disease has been reevaluated, based on the presence of

Memantine administration prevented chorea movement in Huntington’s disease: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2023
Background Huntington’s disease is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by personality changes (such as irritability and restlessness) and psychotic symptoms (such as hallucinations and delusions).
