State Rep. Daniel McNeil, D-Lehigh, said he is pleased the Pennsylvania House of Representatives adopted H.R.271 that designates May 2017 as Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month in Pennsylvania to show support for victims, families and caretakers of this disease. McNeill said Huntington’s disease is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain leading to the deterioration of a person’s physical and mental abilities. “I became aware of the disease when a constituent’s wife was stricken with the disease and I thought we needed to continue to raise awareness because there are approximately 30,000 people in the United States who have symptoms of the disease and more than 200,000 people at risk of inheriting the disease,” McNeill said. “The sad part of this disease is that every child of a parent with Huntington’s disease has a 50/50 chance of carrying the faulty gene” McNeill said symptoms of the disease usually appear in individuals between the ages of 30 and 50 and include personality changes, mood swings, depression, forgetfulness, impaired judgement, unsteady gait, involuntary movements, slurred speech, difficulty in swallowing and significant weight loss. The Lehigh County lawmaker said the symptoms are known to worsen over a 10- to 25-year period, eventually making the person totally dependent upon others for his or her care. Read more
