Huntington’s is an inherited disease that targets the brain’s function. The disorder takes over and kills parts of the brain causing the individual with the disease to lose motor function, memories and the ability to rationalize. The defect occurs in a single gene and because Huntington’s is an autosomal dominates disorder the offspring only needs one copy of the abnormal gene to possibly develop the disease. The Huntington’s mutation occurs in the HTT gene, this gene controls the production of the huntingtin protein. The exact purpose of the protein has still not been determined but it works closely with the neurons in our brains. The mutilation causes the CAG (cytosine, adenine and guanine) trinucleotide repeat to appear excessively. In
