Huntington's Disease Care, completely tailored to you
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the central nervous system, leading to the gradual breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It is an inherited condition, typically caused by a defective gene located on chromosome 4. In fact, around 97% of Huntington’s disease cases result from this inherited genetic mutation, passed down through family lines.
As the disease advances, it manifests in a range of symptoms that impact multiple aspects of an individual’s life. These changes can be classified into four primary categories: physical, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional.
Physical symptoms may include motor impairments such as uncontrolled movements, difficulty with balance and coordination, and problems with speech and swallowing.

Huntington’s disease often causes cognitive decline, including difficulties with memory, problem-solving, attention, and executive functions (e.g., planning and organising). People with HD may also experience a decline in their ability to make decisions.
Behavioural and Emotional Symptoms
Many individuals with Huntington’s disease experience emotional and behavioral changes, such as depression, irritability, anxiety, and apathy.
