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 spr.ly/6016QHYb4

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.

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.

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 bit.ly/3EYasmy

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
