Huntington s Disease - Huntington’s disease is a fatal, genetic brain disorder that destroys a person’s mental and physical abilities. An estimated 30,000 Americans have it, and at least 150,000 more are at risk. Children of a parent with HD have a 50-50 chance of inheriting the condition, and the disease can start as early as childhood.
As of now there is no cure for HD or Huntingtons Disease.

Huntington’s Disease: Progress and Promise in Stem Cell Research
Huntington’s disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder that typically strikes in a person’s thirties and leads to death about 10 to 15 years later. No effective therapy exists for the disease. Jan Nolta, director of the UC Davis Stem Cell Program and Institute for Regenerative Cures, has a CIRM Early Translational Award to develop stem cell-based therapies for Huntington’s disease.
