Description
Huntington’s Disease is a rare, inherited and ultimately fatal brain disorder that often strikes in midlife. Typically, in the 10 to 20 years from first symptom to death, Huntington’s steadily robs individuals of their ability to think, move and live independently, with no treatment to slow or stop its progression. As symptoms worsen, many individuals and caregivers are forced to leave the workforce, creating devastating financial consequences for families. Each child of an affected parent has a 50% risk of inheriting the disease.
