i recently tested with a cag count of 39. All i can find in the research is that "some" will develop HD. Well how many is some? Can I get a mathematical probability here, and a median age for onset of those who do develop with a 39 count . any links or suggestions appreciated. jim

je, who loves you baby

Hi Jim,

Here's a site that gives some averages, but the information provided isn't a good predictor on an individual level, mainly because of environmental factors and other genes. Your best bet is to stay mentally and physically active, eat a healthy diet and do some research into the over the counter supplements being studied to slow the progression and possibly delay onse (my non-expert opinion)t.
