Huntington’s disease is a genetic, neurodegenerative disease with a devastating impact on individuals and entire families. Despite knowing the exact cause of Huntington’s disease since 1993, there still remains much unknown about this complex brain disease.
In this animation, Lauren Byrne, a Research Fellow at the UCL Huntington's Disease Centre shares her personal experience with Huntington's. She takes us inside the brain to explore the mechanism of this disease leading to the cognitive, behavioural and motor symptoms in Huntington's.
This is a Roche video developed in collaboration with Ed Wild, also from UCL Huntington's Disease Centre, George Yohrling from the Huntington's Disease Society of America, and Roger and Brenda Wylie, a family living with Huntington's disease.

My father has it and I was tested not too long ago and the results terrified me. I'm 36 years old and not looking forward to this taking over my mind and body as I get older.

I feel you It's runs on My mom side of the family. My uncle died of it years ago very early. But all 3 of my aunts died in the last year. Now my mom is in the hospital with a week left. They removed her feeding tubes. She is not able to move anything but her eyes. She is in a weird comma were she appears to be a sleep. She is snoring and everything but her eyes still open. Her body won't let her wake up fully. 😢 The whole family went to say there good Byes. She actually had tears running down her face. Now 1 my brother has it and 1 of my cousins so far. The rest haven't been tested. It's been a dark cloud hanging over my family😂

I am 26 years old, in the prime of my life and all of a sudden I am scared. I'm unable to sleep because of this and I don't know if I want to do that test.

I feel very fortunate that my mother doesn't carry the gene for it. Watching my grandmother's siblings and my cousins suffer has been awful. Side note, the side of my family who carries Huntington's disease emigrated to the U.S. from northern Ireland. I just thought that was interesting.

@salvadorhirth2919 Год назад

If the mechanism that causes Huntington's disease is the formation of stop codons after cytosines are transformed in thymines due to inadvertent methylation of said cytosines, then maybe existing drugs inhibitors of cytosine methyltransferase, could slow down the damage in neurons. The presence of truncated proteins in neurons could point to the formation of stop codons TAG replacing CAG.

@laurenbyrne5019 11 месяцев назад

There is an aberrant splice site in the non coding region between exon 1 and 2 that is linked with more extreme CAG repeat lengths. This results in the truncated htt exon 1 fragment which is very pathogenic. To my knowledge, there is no evidence for stop codons forming within the CAG repeat tract itself.

@DennisMathias Год назад

I'm not clear. Do the number of CAG repeats increase or change over a lifetime? While not gender related is it region related? Is it more common in say Wales or France or Ireland for example? This was an excellent video with great graphics!

@laurenbyrne5019 11 месяцев назад

Recent research is showing that certain parts of the body has unstable CAG repeats where they tend to increase more parts of the brain most affected in HD. The CAG repeat people get from their genetic test tends to be from blood or salvia and these tend to be more stable and not change much over a lifetime. They can also be unstable when passing from one parent to the child. They tend to be more unstable when it comes from the father which is the only big gender difference in HD. There are regions of the world with higher prevalence. It is more common in Caucasian populations. There are also clusters of extremely higher prevalence in parts of Latin America.

What about the relationship of Huntington's disease and neurotoxins like aluminum, acetaminophen, flouride, mercury, lead...etc... or even the correlation between the gut microbiome and the countless toxins found in processed foods like GMOs, pesticides, food additives, colorings, synthetic vitamins, antibiotics, neurotoxic psychiatric medications being taken while pregnant, the neurotoxins found in vaccines.... or the relationship with vitamin deficiencies like fat soluble vitamins A, D, and K2? Or the Omega-3 deficiencies in the diet? What if changing the "chemical, emotional and environmental stressors" played a major role in the gene expression? What about cholesterol deficient dietary pregnant women along with a lack of fat soluble vitamins while pregnant? Our brains need cholesterol and healthy fats like Omega 3 to properly form and mature? Have you studied any of these as possible solutions?

@roche 4 года назад

Hi Kohmelo, Great question. Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia, affecting ~50 million people worldwide. It is a progressive brain disease characterised by a decline in memory, language and other thinking skills, as well as changes in mood and behaviour. Huntington's disease is a rare, genetic, neurodegenerative disease, which severely affects a person’s everyday functions, such as moving and thinking. Huntington's is caused by a change (mutation) in a single huntingtin gene (HTT), which triggers the formation of toxic (mutant) huntingtin protein (mHTT). If you'd like further information, we'd encourage you to reach out to your local patient advocacy organisation, which for Huntington's can be found here: huntington-disease.org/findyournationalorganization/ and for Alzheimer's here: www.alz.co.uk/associations
