What is Huntington's Disease and How is it Caused?

Huntington's Disease is a common inherited disease spread all throughout the World, prevalent in about 1 in 10,000 individuals. Huntington's Disease damages the nerve cells in the brain causing deterioration and gradual loss of function throughout areas of the brain, affecting movement, cognition (perception, awareness, thinking, judgment) and behavior. Both men and women are vulnerable to inheriting the disease, usually developing around adulthood but is present, very rarely, in children. Until recently, scientists new little to nothing about the disease, as they watched it pass from generation to generation. Loved ones suffered as they had to undergo the painful process of watching the disease destroy their ability to feel, think, and move.

Huntington's Disease is cause by genetically programmed degeneration of nerve cells, called neurons, in areas of the brain. Some areas affected are the brain's outer surface, or cortex, which controls thought, perception, and memory. This degeneration causes loss of many important functions and results in uncontrolled movements, loss of intellectual faculties, and emotional disturbance. Huntington's Disease is caused by a defect in a gene on chromosome number 4, known as the Huntington disease gene or HD gene. When a defect occurs in the HD gene, it leads to the body creating an abnormal Huntington protein, disrupting the normal function of certain nerve cells and ultimately leads to their premature death.
