Abstract

Amaç:
Bu çalışmanın amacı; genetik tanıları doğrulanmış olan HH’li hastalarda lisan
fonksiyonlarının kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırarak değerlendirmektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem:
Çalışmaya HH tanısı genetik test ile doğrulanan 15 HH ve 15 sağlıklı kontrol
grubu alındı. Katılımcıların lisan işlevlerini değerlendirmeye yönelik Addenbrook Kognitif Muayenesi (ACE-R,
sözel akıcılık ve dil bölümleri) ve Mini Mental Durum Değerlendirmesi (MMDM)
testlerini kapsayan bir batarya oluşturulup uygulandı.

Bulgular: Her iki grupta 9 erkek ve 6 kadın bireyden
oluşuyordu. Hasta ve kontrol grubunun yaş ortalaması 48 bulundu.
Hasta grubunda ortalama hastalık süresi 5 yıldı.
Hastaların ortalama CAG tekrar sayıları 43.3 ± 3.5 bulundu. ACE-R dil testi
performansına göre gruplar karşılaştırıldığında HH’li hastaların skorları
istatistiksel olarak daha düşük bulundu. ACE-R sözel akıcılık testinde ise
benzer olarak yine hasta grubunun performans skorları daha düşük bulundu. Ancak
bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi.

Hastaların CAG tekrar sayıları artıkça, tüm test süreleri de daha fazla zaman
alıyordu. Ancak dil testi ve sözel akıcılık arasında pozitif korelasyon
bulunmadı.







Sonuç:
HH’da lisan fonksiyonları kliniği hafif olan ve CAG tekrar sayısı az olan
olgularda bile bozulmaktadır. Bu durum sadece iletişimi değil değil aynı
zamanda hastanın günlük yaşam aktivitelerini ve hastalık yükünü de olumsuz
etkilemektedir.

Evaluation of language functions in Huntington's disease

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is evaluated of language functions in Huntington’s disease (HD) patients who genetic diagnoses confirmed and compared to control group.

Materials and methods: Fifteen patients with HD and 15 healthy control group confirmed were included in the study. A battery containing the Addenbrook Cognitive Examination (ACE-R, verbal fluency and language part) and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) tests were used to assess participants' language functions.

Results: There were 9 males and 6 females in each group. The average age of the patient and control group was 48. The mean duration of disease in the patient group was 5 years. Mean CAG repetetion of the patients was found 43.3 ± 3.5. When the groups were compared according to ACE-R language test performance, scores of HD patients were found to be statistically lower. Also, the performance scores of the patient group in ACE-R verbal fluency test was similarly lower. However, this difference was not statistically significant. If the patients' CAG repeat numbers were high,  all the test times were taking longer time. As a result there was no positive correlation between language test and verbal fluency.

Conclusion: Language functions in HD are disturbed even in patients with mild clinic and low CAG repetition count. This not only affects the communication but also the  daily living activities and disease burden.
