What is Huntington’s disease?
Huntington’s disease is classed as a genetic neurodegenerative condition as it impacts the brain leading to brain cell death. Huntington’s disease impacts the regions of the brain that are responsible for the way we think, move and feel.
Whilst people are not born with Huntington’s disease, they are born with the abnormal gene that will later on cause the symptoms of Huntington’s disease.
