| Amazing medical paradox |
It was found among these patients, the cancer risk was reduced by approximately 50%. Why - scientists do not know.
A total staff of the University of Lund checked records from Swedish hospitals from 1969 to 2008. It was found among the patients was 1510 people with Huntington's disease. Over the course of the study, 91 patients developed cancer. These rates were 53% lower than expected for the population as a whole.
I must say that this disease belongs to the so-called polyglutamine diseases. Earlier in people with these diseases have already recorded a reduced risk of cancer. To identify the true cause of the laws, you will need additional studies are recognized experts. Probably, there are key genetic mutations.
