Many illnesses are hereditary; for instance, Huntington's and Cystic Fibrosis. Other illnesses affected by genes, such as diabetes and cancer. Many advancements make it workable for a solution to target such hereditarily related infections at the sub-atomic levels, and along these lines offer the possibilities...
The disease that I have chosen for my research essay is most commonly known as ‘Huntington’s Disease or the scientific name for it which is ‘Huntington’s chorea’. Huntington’s disease is a Neurodegenerative disease that progresses over time, causing the death of brain cells usually in...
In 1992, researchers were predicting that it would soon be possible to identify people who carried the gene for a chronic degenerative disease, like Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease, or even some types of cancer. No one believed that genetic research would say when people developed...
Huntington’s disease is an incurable, heredity brain disorder. This disorder is caused by an inherited defect in a single gene. For further understanding, the nerve cells become damaged; causing various parts of the brain to deteriorate (dysfunction). Huntington’s disease effects the movement, behavior and cognition....
Introduction Neurodegenerative diseases are becoming more prominent in today’s world. Be it due to life style changes or due to inheritance… the number of cases in this domain of medicine are on constant rise. The most prevalent of them are Alzheimer’s dementia and Huntington’s Chorea...
The World Health Organization defines Huntington’s disease (HD) or Huntington’s chorea as a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of autosomal dominant transmission. It is also known as ‘San Vito’s disease’. It owes its name to Dr. George Summer Huntington, a New York doctor who first described it...
People with Huntington’s Disease (HD) are unable to control their movements, lose thinking ability and have emotional problems. HD is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the Huntingtin Gene. DNA segments in the Huntingtin Gene are repeated abnormally higher in people with HD. There...
Diseases caused by dynamic mutations involve an unstable responsible mutation. Such disorders are characterized by an uncontrolled expansion of a portion of DNA within the diseased gene consisting of repeated units of three or more tandem nucleotides. Generally, there are polymorphic alleles in the genes...
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited progressive neurological disorder characterised by damage neuron cells. Although genes responsible for HD can be found in every individual, but only expanded HD will cause disease. HD occurs due to the presence of HTT gene mutation...
