Annual Review of Medicine, 1975
Huntington'S disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with neuronal degeneration especially involving the basal ganglia and cerebral cortex. The cardinal signs of dementia and involuntary movements usually appear in middle life. Although the pathogenesis of this disease remains unknown, its course progres sive, and the efficacy of ...

Changes in the level and activity of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) have been described in a number of neurodegenerative disorders since early 1990s. However, only in Huntington disease (HD) gain- and loss-of-function experiments have mechanistically linked these abnormalities with the genetic defect.In this chapter we will describe how ...

Huntington's disease (HD) research is aimed at understanding the root cause of the disorder, for the thrill of uncovering new biology, and for the serious purpose of finding effective therapeutic agents. Molecular genetics has revealed the disease trigger, an inherited unstable CAG expansion in a novel 4p16.3 gene (HD), that lengthens a polyglutamine ...

Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion that results in involuntary movements, psychiatric symptoms, and cognitive dysfunction. The illness typically begins in midlife and progresses over 15 to 20 years, producing increasing disability.

Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominantly inherited, fatal neurodegenerative disorder, named for George Huntington, the author of the first definitive report of the condition in 1872. It is characterized by the progressive development of involuntary choreiform movements, although neuropsychiatric symptoms are sometimes the earliest and often

Huntington's disease is a genetically inherited degenerative neuropsychiatric disorder, characterized by motor alterations, including involuntary movements such as chorea, dementia and psychiatric disturbances. In this article, the authors review the clinical features of the disease. They also analyze some genetic and pathophysiologic aspects, that can

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2006
Although available treatments for Huntington's disease (HD) are imperfect, thoughtful application can positively impact quality of life. Dopamine antagonists can provide control of the troublesome hyperkinetic movements. These agents can also diminish the frequency of hallucinations and delusions when symptoms of psychosis occur. Classical neuroleptics

Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder involving slow, progressive loss of functional capacities. Motor, psychiatric, and cognitive deterioration interfere with activities of independent living, gait, speech, and, ultimately, swallowing.

Abstract Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant progressive neuropsychiatric disorder, characterized by abnormalities of movement, emotion and cognition. The most important pathological feature is selective neuronal loss, primarily in the striatum and cerebral cortex. HD is caused by the expansion of a CAG trinucleotide repeat in the gene

Huntington disease is a monogenic neurodegenerative disorder that displays an autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance. It is characterized by motor, psychiatric, and cognitive symptoms that progress over 15-20 years. Since the identification of the causative genetic mutation in 1993 much has been discovered about the underlying pathogenic mechanisms,
