About Huntington’s Disease
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells
in the brain. It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities during their prime working years and
has no cure. HD is known as the quintessential family disease because every child of a parent with HD has
a 50/50 chance of carrying the faulty gene. Today, there are 30,000 symptomatic Americans and more
than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease. Many describe the symptoms of HD as having ALS,
Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously.
