Changes: Forrester-Trent syndrome

Revision as of 00:47, 18 July 2006

The Forrester-Trent Syndrome is a rare degenerative neural disorder. The disease causes tremor on hands and may also cause severe seizures. If untreated, the disease may result in paralysis or death.

Forrester-Trent is a genetic disease and is usually inherited from the parents. However, some cases have been reported on which the disease was caused by a random mutation.

The gene causing the disease appears to be dominant, as only one of the parents must carry it.

Neuro-stabilization regimen is the treatment used by Starfleet doctors. The treatment is not 100% reliable, but in most cases the patients respond to treatment well. In many cases the effects of the disease can be even reversed.

Jason Vigo suffered from Forrester-Trent Syndrome as a result of DNA resequencing. (TNG: "Bloodlines")
