Understanding Huntington's Disease: A Glimmer of Hope

Huntington's disease, a devastating inherited illness, causes debilitating symptoms including involuntary movements and cognitive decline.

Unlike most genetic disorders, Huntington's is dominant, meaning only one affected parent transmits the defective gene.
