Genetic disorders are inherited conditions caused by mutations in DNA, affecting development and health. Conditions like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia, and Down syndrome are common examples. The symptoms depend on the disorder but can affect physical, cognitive, or organ function. The treatment of genetic disorders focuses on treating symptoms since there are generally no cures. Recent advances like gene therapy offer hope for specific genetic diseases. Early diagnosis, along with supportive care like physiotherapy and nutritional management, is essential to improve quality of life and manage the lifelong impact of genetic conditions.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, cognition, and emotional regulation. It is caused by a genetic mutation that leads to the degeneration of brain cells, resulting in a wide range of symptoms that worsen over time. While there is currently no cure for Huntington's disease, various treatments and support systems are available to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for affected individuals and their families.
