Poem Title:
Poem
Curse of mutation On just one gene Needing salvation Get it clean First comes the emotion Then come the shakes They get these notions Everyone thinks they're flakes Some are highly intelligent But the wiring is disordered (I am stilling working on this one. Anyone have any suggestions? Sara This disease is in clusters in families affects approximately 1in 10,000 people similiar to a cross in Parkinson and Alzheimers with dementia similiar to schizorphrenia. There is no medicine, no treatment, and one just has to wait until the symptoms start. There is genetic testing now which can tell if one has the gene and if the repeats are high enough that the person will come down with the disease themselves. People who have this disease are more prone to using illegal drugs, too much alcohol, get trouble with the law because of these, and are prone to having multiple sexual partners because they are seeking something to treat themselves for the depression that comes with the illness. There is hope in stem cell research to come up with a treatment for this illnes and other similiar illnesses. This illness is an mutation on the CAG in ones genetic coding with too many CAG and it effects the glutamine protein which is in every cell in ones body. The illness wrecks havoc on ones brain causing brain cells to die too soon and the body can't keep up with disposing of the cells or make new ones fast enough to replace the dead ones. When a person finds out it is in their family, then they live with the fear will it be my fate.)
