Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I could find no reference to Kennedy's disease in the archives or on the website. Is there any information about it for LDN? It is caused by " trinucleotide repeat expansion " , " the expanded CAG repeats underlying KD create an abnormal structure within the androgen receptor called expanded polyglutamine " (http://www.mdausa.org/publications/Quest/q93kd.cfm_ " A treatment that's developed for any one of the nine polyglutamine diseases is likely to be effective against the others, " Fischbeck says, and, in an ironic, but encouraging twist, drugs that work against KD might also work against ALS. " So, is the opposite likely to be true? A drug (LDN) helpful for ALS might also be helpful for KD? Kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
