What is it like and what is it like to care for someone with HD? Click on Personal Stories from the HDAC Home Page.

What are the newest advances for curing HD? There is no cure but progress is being made Click on Science and Research from the HDAC Home Page.

And around what age can it strike? Babies have been born with HD and Juvenile HD is more comon than generally though. People with HD have died that never showed any symptoms. However diagnosis takes place generally when someone has reached the age of 40.
Click on Questions about HD and then click on "What Causes HD"? You'll find some answeres there.
