Huntington’s disease is a continuous brain disorder that is the source of involuntary motion, emotional and mental instability as well as cognition damage. It is an inherited disorder relatively common in adults aged thirty to forty. People of European decent typically have a higher chance of being born with the gene that causes HD, while those of Asian and African background have a lower probability. For HD to be developed only one copy of the mutated huntingtin (HTT) gene must be inherited. Overall, individuals affected by this disorder experience an array of symptoms eventually impairing their ability to function and in most cases limit their lifespan by fifteen to twenty years in adults.
