First, since this is a genetic disease, that is transmitted only by inheritance, a determination of family history of HD is usually made. There are also characteristic symptoms that become noticeable in later life, most commonly chorea- or uncontrolled movements of the body. In recent years, a genetic test has been developed that permits screening the the chromosome that causes HD- if you do not have that chromosome, you do not have, and will not develop HD. If you DO have that chromosome, at some point the symptoms of HD will develop. The exact age varies from one person to another. There is additional information at the website of the Huntington's Disease Society of America.
