Rare diseases caused by a family of three generations of non-stop dancing

Huntington disease incidence will not stop until jitter

Chorea is a family of hereditary diseases, genetic probability is 50%

Huntington disease is currently the medical profession as incurable disease

Starting from Grandma to Uncle, cousin, uncle, father, 22-year-old man-ling, witnessed the relatives one is crippling, and even taken. Why has been in the shadow of death of the family. Why do they always uncontrollably shaking, to stop is possible until the end of life? text-to carry out genetic right now, waiting for her results? she can rub shoulders with death?

Grandma after onset moment did not stop dithering, dying like a crazy dancing skeletons.

This year's 22-year-old man-ling is the pride of the family, 3 years ago, Wen-ling to outstanding achievements gained provincial school of medicine. Starting from Ling, they learn this great family has always been the shadow of death. 35-year-old, this should be a strong period of life, however, relatives lapse in prime time, repeatedly fell ill.

In this big family, Wen-ling's grandmother was the first to attack, because my grandmother is from the village to marry, so at that time, the village people think is Grandma's ill-starred dirty air brought into the family, or even that Grandma was saddled with this stubborn, everyone like to hide from a plague to hide them.

According to the great people of memories, Grandma after onset never stopped dancing moment-like dithering dying like a crazy dancing skeletons, suddenly static. Nobody thought that the cancer has not because grandma's departure and termination, on the contrary, it is a root, successive generations passed down and the patient's symptoms are similar to an amazing dance, like a charm, no way to control. Life of the shortest in Episode 4 years after leaving the world's longest live but also for 20 years.

Grandma's children to a total of seven brothers and sisters, of which six are ill. To a man-ling, this generation, a total of 13 brothers and sisters, at present there are 5 risk, one had died. Is it contagious? may wonder why man-ling, aunt and aunt of the Academia Sinica over everything is normal, and those that followed her grandmother with blood relationship relatives, almost no one unscathed?

Wen-ling family is suffering from the disease eventually identified as Huntington disease, are currently classified as incurable diseases at home and abroad, the medical profession.

In the beginning, Wen-ling family hopes to the disease, such as epilepsy or Parkinson 's, but had a period of time in the treatment of Parkinson's drugs, their dithering seen not only improves symptoms, but there is a growing trend. But doctors emphasized Parkinson's and epilepsy are intermittent dither, not always galloping, moreover, neither the onset of epilepsy, Parkinson's disease or when dithering parts mainly in the limbs but not in the head. But Wen-ling's patients, in addition to dancing, head also fro, even more frightening is that systemic trembling in the event of the moment could not stop, will continue, even eat sleep will shake, involuntarily, unable to control, man-ling, home of patients is a what?

Doctor through observation, very intuitively feel like dancing. Huntington disease is a disease of the nervous system, in the middle part of the brain, have a command of the whole body movement, it is this key neurons in the neural atrophy, leading to a full body movement uncoordinated, serious is involuntarily tremble even dance. Then, the main causes of brain atrophy, what is it? the original brain atrophy is mainly due to gene mutation, and that this atrophy is not fixed, so at home and abroad the medical profession to Huntington disease as incurable disease. Chorea is a family of hereditary diseases, genetic probability is 50%, women and men are likely.

Watch relatives, Wen-ling onset gradually feel it like a ghost, from their own.

The size of the age, first to live in a yard of Uncle started to attack, followed by a second Bo-Wen-ling's father, in the ranks third in the family, man-ling, 11 years old, she worried that things have finally happened. Dad finally couldn't escape the entanglement of illnesses.

Since the father after onset, unfortunately also come with the family. Dad every day locked himself in a House, in addition to the doctor, he almost could not leave their own yard. All patients in the family, deeply tortured them not only physical pain, more inner torment, they even want to use extreme styles completely free.

As the dance of lesion in the brain, and brain atrophy is a few years to more than 10 years of a long process, so they have to endure this kind of jitter, endure beyond pain. With the development of the illness, their mind is increasingly blurred, the body of the jitter increasingly violent, finally, the brain out, dementia mania, dance, body weight, become a skeleton in particular, even to eat things that couldn't go on, life begins to count down.

And man-ling, a generation of tangjiemei increasingly onset time, death is faster approximation to them?

Since dancing disease is a family of hereditary diseases of the nervous system, is not to cure, Wen-ling's father is this gene carriers, Wen-ling future fate? in addition to the fathers of Uncle has been sick so Wen-ling was more fear that her own this generation of tangjiemei also one after the symptoms begin to appear jittery. Quiet is the uncle left daughter has 29 years old, began to attack three years ago, and quiet recently, more and more serious symptoms.

Wenli is the daughter of two Bo-Wen-ling, more than two years. However, 24-year-old Wenli looks more like a retarded child. Wenli's disease, there have been 7 years since the beginning she just walk will suddenly fall out, his slight jitter, from the beginning of this year, the situation worse, become increasingly worse.

It is difficult to imagine life even

So fragile, but also a cruel fact often let man-ling, Wen-ling spines of fathers are mostly in the pathogenesis of around 35 years old, but her sister the onset of this generation and more time, early twenties and even teenagers began to attack, the smallest one cousin in 11 years after the onset of fourth year died. Side alive two cousin symptoms also more and more obvious. Is the death were faster approximation to them?

Wen-ling is waiting for the results of genetic testing, she can out tangle of illnesses?

Now doctors can only use drugs to alleviate their symptoms, allowing them to improve the quality of life, but completely cure hope almost to zero. However it is encouraged by the doctor to do Wen-ling, a preliminary inspection and no abnormal conditions are found, then this is heralded man-ling, eluding the disaster?

"Now only said she has no symptoms, but no symptoms does not mean that is not a carrier. Her illness may be too late. "To the text-check of the doctor said:" there is no judgment in man-ling, carry the genetic Huntington disease, you need to do further genetic testing, if the test results to normal, she would not have the disease, but also can not guarantee her second generation does. ”

Now, hospitals are actively preparing to contact, as do Wen-ling, genetic testing that only 22-year-old girl will face a fate uncertain results. "From small to large I find myself still very strong, does not mean very afraid to see what a bad result, I will try to look at that as a result, I would like to know the result, know the result after the know how to do it. "Man-Ling said.

Now, man-ling, cherish life every day, she said many things if they have no way to determine the result, then at least try to make it better, no matter how in the future, she would not fail now. Because from the family, she saw their yearning for life, she hopes that her fate was completely change here.
