This CAG stuff is too complicated, I will remain stuck to the less complicated GOD thing…
I have Huntington disease from my dad
Great video and good level of complexity cheers
thanks! you just helped me make my outline for my paper on this!
Why do repeat expansions happen more in the production of sperm than egg cells?
Is it possible to use gene editing techniques such as CRISPR to prevent repeat expansion of CAG?
you are amazinggggggggg, really. thanks for the information ;D

Nice,Can you make a video on miralgia parasthetica

Very help to me. Good explanation
Why is Ach reduced? in Parkinson’s disease Ach is increased which causes the motor problems
Thank you for making this video, it really helped me understand the disease for my research report. But I just have a question that since this disease is much related to Parkinson's in the abnormal, uncontrollable movements, doesn't that mean it can be treated with medical cannibis. Because it can only be suppressed by sleep, but if the symptoms are similar to parkinstons, wouldn't there be a possibility of treating it with cannibis?
I need to go and get tested but am sgird
hi my name is Toni iam speshell needs and I think I mite have hunting's dess
My mum has this disease… It's a small chance I might have it though… 🙁 The only good thing is my dad's genes take up most my body, so it's high chance I won't have it. When mum gets close to me, I tell her to get back so I don't get the disease. I also have questions: Is there a symptom of stammering from this? Is it normal for this to cause them to cough a lot? Is it normal for their voices to stammer? High blood sugar?
I just pray I don't have the disease… 🙁
Edit: I'm 11 also. :/
this page really helped me alot
I got my blood drawn 2 days ago. Waiting 3-4 weeks to know the results. Wish everyone best of luck. Take care. -San Francisco, California
I might be mistaken, but at 1.52 shouldn't it be the other way around? I mean HTT's sequence is CAGCAG etc. Then shouldn't the DNA Polymerase translate it from the CAG sequence into the GTC sequence?
Make video for rheumatoid arthritis
my biological father has gone beyond the age of 40 ( presumably ) > _ >
Thanks
Is it bad my last name is Huntington?
