  2. this is a mental disorder that wastes away or deteriates your brain. and their everyday life depends on how many CAG repeats they get. but later on they will need someone to help them 24/7. and there is no cure for it so they usually die within 15-20 years.

  7. no, its in genetics. huntington's is located on the 4th chromosome and it does not skip a generation. this is an autosomal dominant trait.

  10. yah it does. and there are two diff. forms of this disease, adult-onset and early-onset. adult-onset patients start developing symptoms around mid 30's to 40's and early-onset patients develop symptoms around childhood to adolesence. but most people get them when their adults, so its rare to get it in an early age.

  12. well it says that the more you pass it on to one generation to the next the more CAG repeats the children get and a greater chance of them getting it at an young age with severe symptoms.

  13. yah it does:( but they are doing tests on this drug that showed a 0.12 improvement on a 30 point scale. so in the possibly next 5 years they may have a cure.
