Huntington’s disease is an inherited neurological disorder which causes progressive deterioration of cognitive and physical abilities. The onset of Huntington’s disease related symptoms usually occurs in the forth or fifth decade of life. Most individuals with huntington's disease have uncontrolled, rapid, jerking movements. These movements involve the extremities, causing difficulties with gait and coordination. Other difficulties include problems with speech, swallowing, and chewing. Mental effects of Huntington’s disease differ in each individual. For example, some individuals may lose the ability to abstract or to learn new information, while others may have inappropriate or compulsive behavior. Huntington’s disease occurs in approximately eight out of every one hundred thousand births and is the result of one mutant gene. Due to advances in genetic science, there is a blood test to indicate Huntington’s disease. While there is no cure for huntington's disease, symptoms are generally manageable with proper treatment.
