    I feel for Tim. Whenever I see someone with Huntington’s I think about “House” the TV show which is one of my favorites next to maybe “Seinfeld.” But I believe that “13” - I think she got that nickname as she was the 13th contestant in Hugh Laurie’s I’ll-advised reality TV “show within a show” (very funny by the way) - had Huntington’s on the show and she knew things would go downhill. It even depressed Gregory House’s character and he’s not what I would call a “touchy-feely” guy. I do hope that CRISPR might help Tim though. I’m certainly no expert but the somatic (?) or one-off solution can be tricky because I guess a researcher needs to extract a stem cell from the patient, make the gene modification, then reinsert the cell back into the patient and hope that it divides and most cells of a particular type - say, bone marrow - eventually take on that modified gene. It has helped one woman with Sickle-Cell Anemia as I believe maybe 75-percent of her genes were replaced in her bone marrow which creates healthier blood cells. At any rate there is hope for people like Tim. (I have at least two verified genetic autoimmune diseases and 23andMe has me listed me as at least having a greater chance of several more, which look “good” to me based upon symptoms. I believe most autoimmune diseases are genetically linked and it’s strictly how it’s manifested although it’s only my theory. But it’s Tic Toc for me and unfortunately I don’t think gene therapy will be mainstream until I’m long gone. Hopefully for Tim a solution is found.)

  • @user-iq6cc3df3l
    @user-iq6cc3df3l 8 месяцев назад

    I wrote it last night but I’m reading “Codebreaker” (CB). Besides pushing one political position too strongly - guess which one? - the book is fairly good although I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re a Democrat. But I guess there is a germline solution that can eventually remove Huntington’s from the general population. I’m not sure if the somatic - I think that’s the one-off name for gene therapy - will work for this disease though. But from memory there’s only one gene that needs to be replaced which CRISPR can do in its sleep. Problem is, the healthcare industry in general operates as gatekeepers. They’re not really interested in making people healthier but rather withholding solutions to maintain their power and keep prices high.

    If she’s not able to live her life to the fullest, because in the back of her mind, she’s thinking she may have that disease it might suit her better to get the testing done know one way or another and that way she can live your life to the fullest. It would probably be best for her if she found out.

Having to live with the possibility of it being passed on is hard and worrying that my children may inherited too.

    I was thinking the other day that probably the best solution for HD would be touse CRISPR to introduce a stop condon mutation to the HTT gene and cause truncation of the gene with mRNA decay. I got this idea while researching about Laron Syndrome, which is caused by pathogenic stop condom and frameshift mutations to the GHR gene. Of course, the HTT gene is still essential to life, so the trick would be to make the mutation heterozygous. That would reduce protein levels by 50% to normal levels. I think that this is the sole solution because I honestly don't think that pharmaceutical approaches will work for many reasons. Someone should forward this to researchers.

    It's hard to believe the voice of the people with Huntington's Disease have not made a bigger impression, that their voices have been heard, before they lose their ability to speak due to de-conditioning from muscle loss (not the cascade of mental deterioration depicted in the video), e.g..not enough strength in the vocal chords, leg/mobility function, etc. Sadly, something has changed over the years and key people are not influencing better outcomes in support and education around one of my favourite diseases.

  • @1111emmy

    Wow, disappointing. What a disaster of an advertisement. One would have hoped HD Canada would learn from the likes of Michael J. Fox and Parkinsons disease. Maybe, we get more dollars for research this way? It's a disgrace that the person will never be found in this narrative. This is misinformation of the worst kind, and only makes it easy to put a target on people's back to continue the discrimination and fear mongering. Yikes, peeps, hard to believe the medical establishment isn't close to getting this one more accurate... it's getting worse, not better. I have never liked the slogan, and revamping it in 2023 doesn't make it better, just makes me wanna buys some cigarettes (like the Canadian Hospital baby books from 1961 advertised).

    You look a lot better than the young man of 44 that I am trying to help. I found a treatment as I have a young man who I visit because he has been like a brother to my sons since his mother was diagnosed with HD 30 years ago and now he is quite bad himself and in care. The trouble is that although I got a copy of a mouse's brain free almost except one black spot of the tangles of protein, they have taken it off the net. Does anyone want to try cat's claw a rain forest bark as it seemed to help but they just suggested it might help with Alzheimer's and of course the drug companies want to make it into a drug to justify the high charges. God always provides a solution in the flowers of the field as it says in the bible. The patient has rejected it perhaps because his mind is already affected according to the medical people and I can't force him to try it.
