Huntington’s disease is horrible.  It rips through families, and unfortunately affects mine :(  This is in memory of my Auntie Moira who died on 29/2/12 and in support of all those who are borne into it.

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a devastating neurological condition. Over the course of 15-25 years, from the first appearance of symptoms,
people with the condition will lose the ability to walk, talk eat and care for themselves. Each child of a parent with HD has a 50% chance of
inheriting the same faulty gene. In Scotland around 1,100 people have HD with a further 5,000 estimated to be living at high genetic risk of inheriting the gene that causes it. As yet, there is no cure.
