Medical Treatment and Therapy of Hutington's Disease

        Treatment and therapy of Hutington's disease can be classified into two: medically and non - medically. Some sources also suggest that gene therapy may also be an option in dealing with Huntington's disease. According to the Journal of Biological Chemistry, published in June 2009, explaining that a researcher has mengultur a cell that shows the formation of a gene RCAN known as RCAN-1L, these genes dramatically decreased in the brains of Huntington's disease. RCAN-1L was first discovered in the laboratory of the journal writer. Investigation of the study also showed an increase in the level of RCAN- 1L which later can save cells from the toxic effects of Huntington's disease, possibly sometime this gene may be one of the new therapies in dealing with Huntington's disease.

Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis of Huntington's Disease
