Hannah Beacom and Thomas Bennett Pd. 3

 Rare inherited disorder  Caused by genetic stutter  Progressive loss of nerve cells in brain  Results in dementia  First description of disease by George Huntington in 1872  Named after George Huntington  Discovered by using two pedigrees  Discovered it’s caused by a gene in 1993

 Random, uncontrollable movements  Physical instability  Difficulties chewing/swallowing  Difficulty speaking  Sleep disturbances

 No cure  No treatments alter Huntington’s Disease  Medication lessens symptoms  Average life expectancy 15 years

 If one parent has the gene, the child can inherit disease  chance of getting disease if parent has it  Affects men, women, and race equally  More common in adults  Caused by dominant gene

 Typically begins around ages  Children who inherit disease rarely live to adulthood  Progressively gets worse over period of years  More than 125 million Americans have or are at risk of Huntington’s Disease
