What is the perfect time for testing for huntington's disease?
A very, VERY personal decision. A person that has a parent that has Huntingtons, and is now an adult, might decide to be tested for HD prior to having children, or to help plan what they want to do in life. At present, there is no cure and limited treatment for Huntingtons. Some people may not WANT to know that they have a disease that is ultimately fatal, and has no cure. My wife has HD, and we have 4 adult children. Three of them decided to be tested- one decided not to.

How do you know if you have got huntingtons disease?
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.
