Huntington's Disease (HD) Fast Facts (via Honestly HD):
- More than 30,000 Americans are living with HD.
- Everyone has two huntingtin (HTT) genes, one from each parent. Huntington’s disease develops when
one of those genes carries the mutation.
- In some families, appearance of symptoms happens earlier and earlier with each generation.
- The symptoms of HD usually appear between the ages of 30-50.
Join us this week as we discuss the cause, stages, symptoms, and symptom management options of the disease, as well as how Huntington's and Parkinson's can often display overlap in these areas.
