This paper explains that Huntington's disease is a genetic disease, which
affects the central nervous system in individuals
who usually are thirty years and above though it does occur sometimes in people younger than this. The paper points out that it occurs as an inherited autosomal dominant condition and it affects all or most of the family members within the same family. The author points out that a cocktail of drugs and other modes of treatment, which supposedly delay the onset and the
progression of the
disease, are available while researchers are finding an actual cure for it. The paper relates that online support is given to the patient and his family so that they are not alone in their suffering and that the primary care giver is prepared to deal with all the symptoms of the disease.
