Extractions: Machado-Joseph disease is a dominently-inherited disorder with a wide range of clinical expression. In general terms, all patients with MJD have an affected parent. Each of their siblings and children has a %50 chance of developing the disorder, and is considered "at risk". The mean age of onset is 35 in the New England families, but the range(10-64) includes patients with onset into the seventh decade. There appears to be a relation between the clinical ppresentation, the age of onset, and the rate of progression. Progressive incoordination (Ataxia) is the most consistant manifestation. Balance is impaired and stumbling is an early and typical feature. Other associated features include slurred speech (dyarthria) and abnormal eye movements. In some of the affected patients lid retraction produces a characteristic staring expression. Some experience double vision. There is a great deal of variability in other features of the illness. Some patients have a great deal of muscular rigidity, stiffness, and abnormal postures (dystonia). Such individuals are said to have type I MJD. They usually experience onset of symptoms before age 25. For others, the illness begins later in life and is associated with muscle atrophy and sensory loss in the legs, with depressed reflexes. This is known as type III MJD. In the late stages of the illness, many affected patients experience wieght loss and sleep disturbance. The has been complete preservation of intelectulal function in all patiens.

Please send in sugestions on how to improve this page What is Joseph disease? Joseph disease is a fatal genetic disorder of the nervous system that cripples and paralyzes while leaving the intellect intact. The disease is characterized by weakness in the arms and legs and a general loss of motor control that eventually confines the paitent to a wheelchair. symptoms appear when a defective gene causes a breakdown and loss of cells in a specific areas of the brain known as the striatum, the cerebellum, and the substantia nigra, but what sets this process in motion is still unknown. There is as yet no effective treatment.

Extractions: Request free mailed brochure Machado-Joseph disease (MJD)-also called spinocerebellar ataxia type 3-is a rare hereditary ataxia. (Ataxia is a general term meaning lack of muscle control.) The disease is characterized by clumsiness and weakness in the arms and legs, spasticity, a staggering lurching gait easily mistaken for drunkenness, difficulty with speech and swallowing, involuntary eye movements, double vision, and frequent urination. Some patients have dystonia (sustained muscle contractions that cause twisting of the body and limbs, repetitive movements, abnormal postures, and/or rigidity) or symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease. Others have twitching of the face or tongue, or peculiar bulging eyes. The severity of the disease is related to the age of onset, with earlier onset associated with a more severe form of the disease. Symptoms can begin any time between early adolescence and about 70 years of age. MJD is also a progressive disease, meaning that symptoms get worse with time. Life expectancy ranges from the mid-thirties for those with severe forms of MJD to a normal life expectancy for those with mild forms. For those who die early from the disease, the cause of death is often aspiration pneumonia.

Extractions: MJD is incurable, but some symptoms of the disease can be treated. For those patients who show parkinsonian features, levodopa therapy can help for many years. Treatment with antispasmodic drugs, such as baclofen, can help reduce spasticity. Physiotherapy can help patients cope with disability associated with gait problems, and physical aids, such as walkers and wheelchairs, can assist the patient with everyday activities. Other problems, such as sleep disturbances, cramps, and urinary dysfunction, can be treated with medications and medical care. What is the prognosis?

Extractions: Machado-Joseph Disease: Getting Help The disease Genetic Counselling Acess to Medical Care Improving Life-Quality The disease Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an hereditary degenerative neurological disorder. The first symptoms usually appear at adult age, with an average age at onset of 40 years of age. MJD usually starts with gait ataxia, followed by speech becoming slurred and finally striking the finest hand movements. The second type of most common clinical signs refer to ocular alterations which include a limitation of eye movement. Other signs may be associated with the above, and are the cause of the clinical variability of this disease. MJD is transmitted in an autossomic dominant fashion, which means, on one hand, that both man and women can be affected and can transmit the disease and that, on the other hand, a single copy of the mutant gene is enough for the clinical signs of the disease to be manifested. Given the nature of this disorder, the probability for a child of a patient to be a carrier of the gene is of 50 %. In the Azores the prevalence of MJD is particularly high (1 in 2402 individuals are affected).

Fax: 00/33/l/44.24.36.58. Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder in families of Portuguese-Azorean ancestry. The gene responsible for MJD has been assigned to a 29-cM interval on chromosome 14q. A large Brazilian family with MJD was genotyped with six new microsatellite markers spanning 19 cM on chromosome 14q. Linkage analysis and haplotype reconstruction reduced the MJD candidate region to a 3-cM interval between markers D14S280 and D14S81, permitting positional cloning. This interval also contains the spinal cerebellar ataxia 3 (SCA3) gene, responsible for a genetic subtype of the type I autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias, clinically related to MJD. This result supports the hypothesis that abnormalities in the same gene may be responsible for both disorders. The minor clinical differences between the two diseases may result from allelic heterogeneity.
