Increased recombination adjacent to the Huntington disease-linked D4S10 marker.
Huntington disease (HD) is caused by a genetic defect distal to the anonymous DNA marker D4S10 in the terminal cytogenetic subband of the short arm of chromosome 4 (4p16.3). The effort to identify new markers linked to HD has concentrated on the use of somatic cell hybrid panels that split 4p16.3 into proximal and distal portions. Here we report two new polymorphic markers in the proximal porti...
متن کاملCocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript is increased in Huntington disease.
Weight loss and anxiety frequently occur in individuals with Huntington's disease (HD) but the underlying mechanisms are not well-understood. Peptides produced in the hypothalamus are involved in regulating energy homeostasis and emotion. Recent data suggest that changes in neuropeptide levels may be reflected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and could therefore serve as biomarkers for HD. Coc...
متن کاملIncreased basal ganglia iron levels in Huntington disease.
OBJECTIVE To quantify in vivo brain ferritin iron levels in patients with Huntington disease (HD) and normal control subjects. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS A magnetic resonance imaging method that can quantify ferritin iron levels with specificity in vivo was employed to study 11 patients with HD and a matched group of 27 normal controls. Three basal ganglia structures (caudate, putamen, and globus pa...
متن کاملHuntington Disease: The Orphan Enigma
Rigidity and dystonia in Huntington disease (HD) are associated with atrophy of the caudate nucleus and putamen (B). Extensive neuronal loss and gliosis in the cerebral cortex (A,C) in both HD and Alzheimer disease (AD) are responsible for varying degrees of cognitive impairment (however, neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques are seen only in AD). Understanding a rare genetic disorder can ...
متن کاملExclusion mapping of the hereditary dentatorubropallidoluysian atrophy gene from the Huntington's disease locus.
Hereditary dentatorubropallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder. Clinical and genetic findings in hereditary DRPLA are very similar to those of Huntington's disease (HD). However, it can be differentiated from HD by the pathological findings of dentatorubral and pallidoluysian atrophies and by a lack of prominent atrophy of the striatum at necropsy. The...
