Help docs, is huntington disease a side effect of seizure meds?

Nope.: It's a genetic disorder caused by an expanded region of DNA in a specific gene. A person with the gene problem will pass it on to about half of his or her kids.

Unfortunately not: I say, "unfortunately" only because then, we might have a controllable risk factor to deal with in order to help curb or eliminate the disease. However, it comes about as the result of a genetic derangement and we're still in the dark as to what that's exactly all about.
