Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered with Care
01What is Huntington’s disease?
Huntington’s is a condition that slowly affects the brain and how it works. It is passed down through families and can have a big impact on how someone moves, thinks and feels over time.
02What are the symptoms of Huntington’s disease?
Symptoms often begin between the ages of 30 and 50, but they can show earlier or later. Signs include changes in thinking and memory, mood swings, involuntary movements, trouble with walking or balance, and difficulties with speaking or swallowing.
03How is Huntington’s disease inherited?
Huntington’s is caused by a faulty gene that is passed on by a parent. If one parent has the gene, there is a 50 percent chance it will be passed on to each child. Rarely, it can develop without a family history if a parent was never diagnosed.
04Is there a cure for Huntington’s disease?
There is currently no cure, but there are treatments and support that can help ease some of the challenges and improve quality of life.
05At what age do symptoms begin?
