Do you have any inofrmation on earily signs of huntingtons disease? what are the testing procedures for this disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetic testing: First, does huntington's run in your family? Also, it might be tough early on to pinpoint the symptoms as subtle involuntary movements may be present, and depression or some memory loss may be all initially. Mri films can visualize the area of pathology and specific genetic testing confirms in most cases.
