Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare, inherited, neurodegenerative disease caused by the mutation of a single gene. It is a relentlessly progressive disease, one that leads to a loss of independence and the ability to perform daily activities. For every parent with the disease, there is a 50/50 chance of their children inheriting HD, resulting in an emotional, physical, social and economic toll that can impact families for generations.
