HD is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person's physical and mental abilities during their prime working years and has no cure. Every child of a parent with HD has a 50/50 chance of carrying the faulty gene.
Many describe the symptons of HD as having ALS, Parkinsons and Alzheimer's simultaneously.
