Case report: Cerebellar sparing in juvenile Huntington's disease

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Huntington’s disease age at motor onset is modified by the tandem hexamer repeat in TCERG1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Huntington’s disease is caused by an expanded CAG tract in HTT. The length of the CAG tract accounts for over half the variance in age at onset of disease, and is influenced by other genetic factors, mostly implicating the DNA maintenance machinery.

The personal experience of parenting a child with Juvenile Huntington’s Disease: perceptions across Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The study reported here presents a detailed description of what it is like to parent a child with juvenile Huntington’s disease in families across four European countries. Its primary aim was to develop and extend findings from a previous UK study.

Clinical and genetic analysis of 29 Brazilian patients with Huntington’s disease-like phenotype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by chorea, behavioral disturbances and dementia, caused by a pathological expansion of the CAG trinucleotide in the HTT gene. Several patients have been recognized with the typical

Comprehensive behavioral testing in the R6/2 mouse model of Huntington's disease shows no benefit from CoQ10 or minocycline [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Previous studies of the effects of coenzyme Q10 and minocycline on mouse models of Huntington’s disease have produced conflicting results regarding their efficacy in behavioral tests.

Observing Huntington's disease: the European Huntington's Disease Network's REGISTRY. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The unparalleled collection of clinical data and biomaterials within the EHDN's REGISTRY can expedite the search for disease modifiers (genetic and environmental) of age at onset and disease progression that could be harnessed for the development of ...

Assessment of the Performance of a Modified Motor Scale as Applied to Juvenile Onset Huntington’s Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background:Huntington’s disease can present at almost any age but traditionally, those with an onset ≤20 years are described as having juvenile onset Huntington’s disease (JOHD).

Variation within the Huntington's disease gene influences normal brain structure. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Genetics of the variability of normal and diseased brain structure largely remains to be elucidated. Expansions of certain trinucleotide repeats cause neurodegenerative disorders of which Huntington's disease constitutes the most common example. Here, we

Genetic epidemiological characteristics of a Hungarian subpopulation of patients with Huntington’s disease

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2021
Background Recent advances in therapeutic options may prevent deterioration related to Huntington’s disease (HD), even at the pre-symptomatic stage. Be that as it may, a well-characterized patient population is essential for screening and monitoring ...

Effect of Ayurvedic interventions as add-on therapy in Huntington's disease: A case report

open access: yesJournal of Ayurveda Case Reports, 2022
Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder. It is caused due to trinucleotide cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) repeat expansion on chromosome 4.
