About Huntington's Disease

Huntington's Disease

Huntington's disease is an incurable, hereditary brain disorder. It is a devastating disease for which there is no currently "effective" treatment. 

Nerve cells become damaged, causing various parts of the brain to deteriorate. The disease affects movement, behavior and cognition - the affected individuals' abilities to walk, think, reason and talk are gradually eroded to such a point that they eventually become entirely reliant on other people for their care. 

Huntington's disease has a major emotional, mental, social and economic impact on the lives of patients, as well as their families.

Hereditary

Huntington's is a hereditary disease. Children of an HD gene positive parent have a 50/50 chance of having HD.
