How a Genetic Test Changed My Life

As a teen, Lauren Holder learned that a cruel and fatal disease was stalking her family — and that she might have inherited the gene for it from her dad. Now 30, she shares her journey to discover the truth.

BY LAUREN HOLDER AS TOLD TO VIRGINIA SOLE-SMITHDec 19, 2015Lauren HolderCOURTESY OF LAUREN HOLDER

When I was 5, my grandpa Rose took my dad and me out on his boat off the coast of Florida, where we live. It was a hot, bright day, and as the boat skimmed over the water, I asked my dad to put up the sunshade so we could cool off.

It was a small request, but Grandpa Rose exploded in rage: “No! We’re not doing that!” Then he began to curse. I was shocked, but my dad wasn’t. As I would soon find out, violent outbursts were the norm for Grandpa Rose and had been for some time. His reputation as a cruel abuser was no secret in our family.

And then, 10 years later, Grandpa Rose became someone else entirely to me. That was the day my aunt told me he had Huntington’s disease (HD).

Fear Sets In

Until I was 15, I had never heard of HD, a neurodegenerative disorder that is like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, bipolar disorder, and Tourette’s syndrome rolled into one. But my aunt Amy told me what it was and explained that all of Grandpa Rose’s behavior — his temper, slurred speech (which we had wrongly thought indicated a drinking problem) and recent difficulty swallowing — had been symptoms. The disease would worsen, Amy said; near the end, he would be trapped inside a stiff body, unable to eat, talk, or move. The scariest part: HD is inher- ited. There was a 50/50 chance my father had it, and if he did, I faced the same odds.

Upon hearing the diagnosis, my grandpa, in total denial, jumped in his car, drove across the country and never came back. My family was actually relieved — his being so far away made it easier to avoid thinking about the situation. My dad didn’t seem to take the news seriously. “Just chain me up in the backyard with a drink, and I’ll be fine!” he joked about the possibility of developing HD, but inside, he must have been terrified. My grandpa was the meanest person I knew. Now there was a chance that my dad could turn into that kind of monster … and that I could, too.

Then, around the time I turned 18, I was chatting with my dad in our kitchen when he suddenly started screaming in anger and squeezing my arm hard enough to leave bruises. We didn’t talk about it, but I know we were worried about the same thing: He might be getting HD, too.

Learning My Fate

As soon as Grandpa Rose was diagnosed, when I was still in high school, I flung myself into researching HD. One of the first things I learned was that the same blood test that had found HD in him could tell me whether I would get it. When my dad began showing symptoms a few years later, he wasn’t interested in the test for himself, but I decided to get tested as soon as possible.

The genetic counselor I found wasn’t as supportive as I had hoped. “If you have the genetic mutation for Huntington’s, there’s nothing we can do,” she told me. “There is no medical benefit [to knowing].” I understood, but I also knew that without the test result, I would obsess over whether, when, and how I might get sick. Testing would put the biggest piece of the puzzle in place.

After the blood draw, the wait for the results felt endless. I kept asking myself the same questions: What would a positive result mean for me and my dad? Would I hurt those I loved like Grandpa Rose had? Would my husband, Josh, whom I’d wed at 19, leave me?

When the day finally arrived, the counselor didn’t make us wait. As we walked into her office, she said it: “You tested positive. You are going to get Huntington’s disease.”

When I heard the news, I burst into tears — of sadness, but also of relief, because I wasn’t wondering anymore. But as we began to talk, fear settled in. It’s surreal to have someone tell you how you’re going to die.

Adjusting to my new reality over the next few days, weeks, and months wasn’t easy. I developed insomnia, had anxiety attacks, and got very depressed. Any time I got mad or acted clumsy, I would freak out and think, This is it. It was also difficult to deal with my parents: Though my dad’s angry outbursts continued, neither of them had accepted that HD was the cause. Talking to my mom about it was like talking to the air.

Still, I was determined that my test results should help someone. I knew my grandpa Rose, then 73, was in a nursing home in Seattle, so I flew out to see him. At first glance, I couldn’t tell if he was alive; he’d lost so much weight, and his body had become stiff. That night, I cried myself to sleep.

But the next day I forced myself to visit again, bringing family photos. Though he hadn’t been out of bed in six months, I asked him, “Do you want to get up and sit with me?” It took a few minutes for him to get a word out, but when he did, he said yes, and so we sat and looked through the pictures. When it was time to leave, I said, “I love you.” For the first time in my life, Grandpa Rose told me, “I love you, too.”

Lauren Holder GrandfatherLauren reconnecting with her grandpa Rose before he died in 2007.COURTESY OF LAUREN HOLDER

When I got home, I sent my dad pictures of the trip, and days later he and his sisters flew to see their father. Grandpa Rose died just months later. I’m forever grateful that we all made peace and said goodbye.

Ready to Live

It’s been 10 years since I got my results, and I’m still presymptomatic. My doctors think that will change when I’m in my mid-40s.

There have been times when I’ve tried to push Josh away, to protect him. But he always says, “We’re in this together.” Still, I know he wishes we could have kids as badly as I do. But I don’t want to pass this gene to a child, nor would I want a child to have to take care of me at a young age.

But whenever I think Poor me, I remember my dad. Three years ago, he said, “Lauren, I looked up Huntington’s disease. I think I have it.” I realized that it had taken me facing my truth for my dad to accept his. Soon afterward, he joined me in volunteering with the Huntington’s Disease Society of America.

At 57, my dad has little short-term memory; by noon, he can’t tell you what he ate for breakfast. He walks slowly, has poor balance, suffers from mood swings, and has other health problems, like complications from diabetes, that disorient him. But there are good moments, too, when I know he’s still Dad. If my mom gets flustered, he’ll tease her by saying, “Oh, no — you caught my Huntington’s!” And we laugh, because no one is living in denial anymore. We’re all determined to get as much as we can out of life. We are living with Huntington’s disease, but that doesn’t mean we can’t live.

The 411 on Huntington’s Disease

What Is It?
Huntington’s disease is an incurable inherited brain disorder that results in the progressive loss of mental faculties and physical control. Signs usually appear between ages 30 and 50 and worsen slowly over the next 10 to 25 years.

Who’s At Risk?
You can develop the disease only if one of your parents has the mutated HD gene and you inherit it. It’s estimated that one in 10,000 Americans has HD, and more than 250,000 others are at risk of having inherited the gene.

Is There Hope?
Research has yet to find a means of slowing the deadly progression of HD, but last year scientists launched the first clinical trials to study the safety of a drug designed to silence the gene. For more information, visit hdsa.org.

THIS IS DUE IN 15 hours! For step 1, you need to create a profile to do this. For step 2, you will use the word document attached with the meal plans I’ve attached which is labeled by each day. Please make sure you completed both tables and questions 1-9 which is in the document attached. Please also include the Nutrition Report screen shots (as .doc or .pdf file), which can be included into the document with the questiobe.

Part II: Diet Analysis (170 pts)

Step 1: Creating a Profile

1.  Go to the following website: https://cronometer.com/ IMPORTANT: Instructions below apply to the web-based Cronometer application. Do NOT use the mobile device App.

2.  Click on Sign Up for Free in the middle of the screen.

  • Create your profile by entering your school email and password (8 characters).
  • Next, enter your sex(female), birth date(01/25/1994), height(5’6), and weight(192).  For females, leave as normal unless you are pregnant or lactating, which can be selected from the drop down menu.
  • Click the check box to agree to Terms of Service and click Create Account at the bottom of the screen.

3.  Once you have entered the Cronometer site, click on SETTINGS at the top of the screen. Once you open SETTINGS, you will see a drop down for PROFILE. It is here you will see your ACTIVITY LEVEL. Also, the email settings are in the SETTINGS then ACCOUNT tab.

Under email, be sure to uncheck any checked boxes.  Leaving these boxes checked results in promotional emails from Cronometer.  Cronometer is not endorsed by UMGC, and we do not support any fad diet information that may be sent to you.

4.  Staying in Profile, using the drop down menu, adjust your Activity Level to the appropriate selection based on your habits and lifestyle. Clicking on Activity Level can provide guidance on which activity level is appropriate for your lifestyle.

Note: for this project, do not link your Cronometer account with any fitness tracking devices as it may alter the accuracy of your results for this project.

Step 2: Using the Food Database

1.  To begin entering your foods for Day 1, ensure you are under the Diary tab at the top of the screen.

2.  Select the appropriate calendar date.  It is highly recommended that you enter all three food diaries at once, using consecutive days on the Cronometer calendar (even if your log days were not consecutive), and use dates closest to today’s actual date.  Because we are using the free version of the site, reports can only be done for the last 7 days so you will be unable to get a report for the days you enter if they are more than 7 days away.  It’s not a problem to edit the dates in this way–it will not impact your results.

3.  Click on Add Food at the top of the screen. Type the first food from your food log into the search bar and click Search.  Select the food item that best matches the food you ate in the Search Results.

4. Choose the amount that you consumed at the bottom of the search box.  Use the drop menu to select the most appropriate serving measurement and enter the number of servings.  If less than 1 serving, use a decimal to indicate the percentage of one serving consumed.  Click on Add Serving.

Note: Do not include any supplements into your food diary as you are doing an assessment of your dietary intake only.

5. If you need to delete a food item from your diary, simply right click on the food item and select Delete Selected Items.

6. Continue Steps 1-3 for all food items for your Day 1 Food Diary.

7.  After you have entered all food and drink items for the first day, click on the gear found at the top right of the screen.  Select “Mark Day Complete”.

8.  Repeat for Days 2 and 3 by changing the date in the calendar. Again, ensure dates are consecutive in the Cronometer calendar; are within a 7-day window; and are as close to today’s date as possible.

I ATTACHED FOOD MEAL TO USE.

Step 3: Obtaining Your Nutrition Report

1. Once you have entered all of your foods into the Diary for all three days and marked all three days as complete, you need to create your nutrition report to analyze your average intake of nutrients over the three days.  Click on the Trends tab at the top of the screen. Select Nutrition Report.

2.  At the top, select the parameters for your search [see screenshot below]. Ensure your 3 days are included in the last 7 days as the free version of this site only allows for averages from the last 7 days.

  • Select include today only if one of your three days was entered on today’s date in the Cronometer calendar.
  • From the drop down menu, select “Completed Days” instead of the default “All Days”.  This will ensure your report is accurate and includes values for only days in which food was entered.
  • Do not include supplements in this report.

3.  After your report is generated, take a screen shot of your Nutrition Report to show all nutrient values from Nutrition Report dates at the top down to Zinc You will likely need to take two screen shots in order to include the required data. [See sample screenshot below].   This step must be done as it is a requirement that you turn this in with the analysis.

4. Open this file to complete the rest of the assignment.  Using the Nutrition Report above, fill in the Average Eaten columns of Tables of 1 and 2 of the file you just opened.  To fill in Table 1, Energy and Macronutrients (percent of calories), use the top of the report as shown below.  You will need to hover over each macronutrient name to see percent of calories from each.  Do NOT use information from the sections that are crossed out on the image below.

For remaining macronutrient components and the micronutrients, use the Nutrition Report tables to obtain the information to fill remaining average intakes for Tables 1 and 2.

Using the screenshot below as an example (vitamins in this case), you will use the 1st column values rather than the red/yellow/green bar values in the 2ndcolumn.

5.  Finish Tables 1 and 2 in the document you downloaded by using the following resources for Target or RDA/AI Nutrient values.

Macronutrients: Use the AMDRs that you learned about in your text for Target values.  These can be found in their respective chapters in the text (Chapters 4, 5, and 6).

Micronutrients: Use the link below for RDA/AI values for all vitamins and minerals except Vitamins A and D. For Vitamins A and D, the units from Cronometer do not match the RDA/AI units found in the link below.  While this is the most recent publication for RDA/AIs, presently IUs are the preferable measurement for vitamins A and D. As a result, Cronometer provides their results in IUs for these two vitamins. Use the following reference:

Vitamin A –     RDA 3000 IU for males

RDA 2,333 IU for females

Vitamin D –     RDA 600 IU for males and females

Here is a detailed reference for Dietary Reference Intakes for all vitamins and macronutrients (see pp. 1-5), which will benefit the analysis portion of your paper: DRI Values

Step 4: Analysis Questions

1.  Answer Questions 1-9 in the file you downloaded above based on your results in Tables 1 and 2. Use complete sentences and ensure proper grammar and spelling.

2. In order to calculate the EER equation (question #2 on the Word document you have downloaded in order to complete this assignment), you will need your PA value (physical activity).  Use the following PA levels for your equation based on your gender and activity level:

  • Men
    • 1.0 for sedentary
    • 1.11 for low active
    • 1. 25 for active
    • 1.48 for very active
  • Women
    • 1.0 for sedentary
    • 1.12 for low active
    • 1. 27 for active
    • 1.45 for very active

Step 5: Submission

The following should be submitted as attachments when you have completed this part of your project:

1.

2. Completed Analysis to include tables and answers to diet analysis questions (found here)
