A member asked:
Is it possible for a traumatic event to trigger the onset of huntingtons disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder due to a mutation on chromosome 4. However, stress can sometimes seem to trigger an illness when the disease was actually right at the point of starting to have symptoms.
