A well-studied, widely used class of drugs for heart health may have benefits for Huntington’s disease. A new paper associated beta-blocker use with delayed onset and slower disease progression. Should you ask your doctor for a new prescription? #cure

Beta blockers may delay symptom onset and slow #HuntingtonsDisease progression. The new study results “provide hope that there may be novel targets, such as the autonomic nervous system, for modifying the disease course,” says Jordan Schultz, PharmD https://t.co/Op0ov8f7VK

β-blocker therapy in Huntington disease (HD) was associated with a later age at onset and a slower rate of worsening of clinical symptoms.

We investigated beta-blockers based on previous findings showing that patients with HD have autonomic dysfunction. These findings provide early evidence that the autonomic nervous system may be a novel therapeutic target for slowing the progression of HD.

More data on α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist Terazosin from @MatthewWeberPhD @narayananlab & colleagues - rodents with VTA dopamine depletion had higher interval timing variability, improved by daily terazosin; Plus more epidemiological #Parkinsons data

While a diagnosis of Marfan Syndrome has not yet been confirmed, this is a tragic reminder of how important an early diagnosis can be. For my 2 yo son, @UIchildrens turned a routine eye appointment into a life-saving early diagnosis of MFS, for which I am forever grateful.

Most importantly, we want to extend a heartfelt 'thank you' to all of the patients and family members who have participated in this study! Your contributions are moving the field forward and none of this is possible without you!!

Check out our most recent paper in @MDJ_Journal where we report some of the first longitudinal neuroimaging data from kids with Juvenile-Onset Huntington's Disease!

This study was led by @PNopoulos @JoHD_Iowa @kids_hd and was the result of significant collaboration amongst members of @UIowaPsychiatry and @UIowaNeuro and enormous support from several dedicated people and groups, including @HDSA, @HDYOFeed, @WeHaveAFace, and @Help4HDI.

Very pleased to have results from my @ICTSIowa KL2 project published! Great to be able to have multidisciplinary collaborators @boeslab and @HarshmanLyndsay from @UIowaPeds and @UIowaNeuro!

Schultz et al. report that autonomic dysfunction in patients with presymptomatic #HuntingtonsDisease is associated with decreased functional connectivity within the Central Autonomic Network. @Schultz_lab https://t.co/On8LAjAzbv

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Lab]

Our newest paper in @MDJ_Journal shows that children with long CAG repeats (>50) who were far from their predicted motor onset of HD had striatal hypertrophy that preceded degeneration. @ChANGE_HDstudy @JoHD_Iowa @UIowaPsychiatry @UIowaNeuro
