Early-Stage Brain Research Key to Unlocking Huntington’s Disease

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a devastating, progressive neurological disease that is inherited from your parents. Symptoms typically manifest between 35-44 years of age, resulting in uncontrolled movements, emotional disturbance and cognitive decline that progressively worsen. The person will survive, on average, 20 years with these symptoms. Although physicians can prescribe medicines to help control some of the symptoms of the disease, there is no way to cure or halt progression of HD. There has been some progress made in understanding HD. In 1983, researchers discovered the first genetic marker for HD. This was a crucial piece of the HD puzzle, and in 1993 led to the eventual discovery of the mutation that causes HD, opening the door for genetic testing and new methods of research dedicated to finding a cure.

This dreadful disease robbed Woody and his siblings of their mother, Nora Belle, who was institutionalized in an asylum for the mentally ill, where she passed away due to complications from Huntington’s. The lack of understanding of Huntington’s
