What is Huntingdon Disease?

Huntingdon’s Disease is an hereditary, progressive, degenerative neurological disorder causing a complex mixture of physical, cognitive and mental health problems resulting in profound disability. Every child of an affected parent has a 50% risk of inheriting the disease. It affects both males and females equally. Onset of the condition is most common between the ages of 30 and 50, although there are about 10% of juvenile cases of the condition. Presently there is no cure for this disease and only limited palliative care.
