Can Huntington s disease be prevented, and what is Huntington s disease?

The prevalence of Huntington's disease varies widely across populations, with the prevalence in the Western population being 4 to 8 cases per 100,000 people. Recent studies have shown prevalence in China and Japan, while prevalence in Europe, North America, and Oceania. At present, the diagnosis can be confirmed by the identification of pathogenic genes, which also provides a genetic counseling basis for the eugenics of offspring.

It seems to be a terminal illness, and there is an introduction in this**.

Huntingtonchorea, also known as Huntington's disease (HD), was first described by Waters (1842) and systematically described by Huntington (1872). This disease is an autosomal nuclear Zheng Feng dominant inheritance of basal ganglia and cerebral cortical degenerative diseases, mostly occurring in middle age, insidious onset, chronic progression, the main symptoms are chorea-like involuntary movements and progressive cognitive dysfunction is the main manifestation of lurking, also known as hereditary chronic progressive chorea.

You're asking if hemimelorea is a form of Huntington's disease. No.

Hemichorea is an involuntary and irregular chorea-like movement of the unilateral limbs and/or face, and most of the symptoms of acute onset can gradually appear within a few weeks, and the causes of the disease are diverse, and Huntington's disease is a family hereditary disease, patients are mainly due to genetic changes, and the exaggeration of the CAJ trinucleotide repeats of the DNA mechanism in the fourth chromosome leads to the degeneration of brain nerve cells, so hemichora is not a type of Huntington's disease.

Chorea ** Method:

1.For ****. For example, patients with chorea are symptoms of chorea caused by rheumatic fever infection, which can be carried out for rheumatic fever infection**, which can be carried out with antibiotics**; Patients with Wilson's disease are caused by hereditary abnormal copper metabolism and chorea symptoms, on the one hand, they can adopt a low-copper diet and eat less shells, chocolate, coffee beans, etc.; second, to promote the excretion of copper, prevent the absorption of copper, and use some chelating agent god lead; Third, for chorea caused by drug poisoning and infection, it can also be carried out, and the prognosis of these patients is often better.

2.Symptomatic for the symptoms of chorea itself**. Dopamine agonists or dopamine-depleting agents can be used, as well as some drugs that increase aminobutyric acid**.

3.For patients with chorea, perform some effective ****.

Many Huntington's disease is born with it, so is Huntington's disease inherited in a way that is Wha Pirang?

The way Huntington's disease is inherited is called autosomal dominant. All genes are a pair, not a single one, this pair is recessive inheritance if the loss is a loss, this pair must be positive to get the disease, but the dominant inheritance as long as one is positive, one positive, one negative has the disease, and the two positive ones certainly have the disease.

So if my father has Huntington's disease, he is one positive, one is negative, and my mother doesn't, both are negative. If the father gives the positive one to the child, no matter what happens to the mother, the child must be the sick; If the father gives the good to the child, the child is safe, so there is a 50% chance of getting Huntington's disease.

It's a terminal illness, boss.

Duanmu: That's the kind of disease.

It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up.

Huntington's disease is a genetic neurodegenerative disease in which the Huntington gene on chromosome 4 is mutated, resulting in a mutated protein that gradually clumps together inside the cell to form large molecular clusters. Scientists generally refer to these water-insoluble molecular clusters as "inclusion bodies". In general, patients develop the disease in middle age, gradually losing the ability to speak, move, think, and swallow, and the disease will continue for about 15 to 20 years, and eventually lead to death.

There is a 50% chance of inheritance of this disease.

Clinical presentation. Early mental irritability, irritability, apathy, anxiety, abnormal eye movements, depression, etc.

Muscle ectopy of the face, neck, and back caused by sustained muscle contraction in the middle term; involuntary movements of the body; impaired balance when walking; dance-like movements, writhing body movements, tonic convulsions, swaying and incoherent gait; Difficulty in doing movements that require dexterity of the hand, and inability to control the speed and strength of the movements normally; unresponsiveness; generalized weakness; weight loss; Speech disorder, stubborn temper.

late body rigidity; bradykinesia, difficulty initiating or sustaining movements; vigorous dance moves; severe weight loss; Inability to walk; unable to speak; difficulty swallowing, risk of choking; Life is completely incapable of taking care of oneself.
