Skin Conductance Responses in Huntington's Chorea Progeny

Affiliation:University of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England
Abstract:To test the assumption that limbic dysfunctioning in Huntington's Chorea (HC) would be reflected in abnormal skin conductance responses, 25 patients were examined.Only 2 of these patient showed normal skin conductance response. A further sample of 52 first generation, asymptomatic offspring of diagnosed HC patentes were tested. Seventeen of the at-risk subject were non-responders compared with 2 non-responders in the control sample of 26 subjects. The finding could be interpreted to favor the hypothesis that the presence of the pathogenic gene is correlated with electrodermal non-responding.
Keywords:Huntington's Chorea    Skin conductance
