Presentation transcript:

Huntington’s Disease

What Causes It? Inheriting a defective gene Results in gradual destruction of neurons

Causes

How Is It Transmitted? Defective gene can be passed from one generation to the next If a parent has the gene, child has a 50/50 chance of inheriting it

Signs and Symptoms Appear between age 30-50 Fidgeting Minor twitching in fingers and toes Excessive restlessness Some clumsiness Short-term memory loss Less ability to organize routine Periods of depression As HD progresses, all physical symptoms can make basic tasks more difficult

How HD Affects Body Mind and body Rapid, jerking movements the person has no control Prone to falls Eye movement Trouble looking Affect the brain Forgetfulness Difficulty to concentrate Sensory symptoms: numbness or pain

How It Is Detected? Genetic testing Neurological testing Blood testing

Treatment Drs. prescribe medications to control emotional and movement problems Tetrabenazine is the first drug in the U.S. approved to treat Huntington’s. Helps control involuntary movements
