Zusammenfassung

Die neu überarbeiteten Leitlinien Chorea/Morbus Huntington geben auf S2k Niveau einen Überblick über den Stand der Forschung zum Erkrankungsverlauf sowie zu neuen Ansätzen der symptomatischen und verlaufsmodifizierenden Therapie bei der Huntington-Krankheit. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Leitlinien bevorzugen die Autoren aus den deutschsprachigen Ländern als Erstlinienbehandlung der Chorea Tiaprid. Aufgrund von Nebenwirkungen, welche unter Tetrabenazin auftreten können – wie etwa Depression oder Akathisie, ist es gängige Praxis, Tetrabenazin erst in zweiter Linie einzusetzen. Die Leitlinien nehmen Stellung zu rechtlichen Fragen der Präimplantationsdiagnostik (PID) und der pränatalen Diagnostik (PD) in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz sowie zu den Unterschieden zwischen dem prädiktiven und dem differenzialdiagnostischen Einsatz der molekulargenetischen Diagnostik. In den Leitlinien wird darüber hinaus sehr ausführlich zu den möglichen Differenzialdiagnosen bei einer Chorea ungeklärter Ätiologie Stellung genommen.

Abstract

The updated and revised guidelines (S2k level) on ‘Chorea and Huntington’s Disease (HD)’ review the present understanding of the natural history of HD including rate of progression and describe new approaches to symptomatic and disease course-modifying therapies in HD. In contrast to other guidelines, the expert opinion in the German speaking countries favors tiapride as a first line treatment of chorea. Because of the side effect profile of tetrabenazine, including depression or akathisia, the authors prefer to use tetrabenazine as second line treatment. The current guidelines address medico-legal aspects of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and prenatal testing in Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as differences between a predictive and a diagnostic setting of molecular genetic diagnosis. In addition, the guidelines comment in detail on the differential diagnoses of a chorea of unknown origin.
