I need to know what is wrong with my husband?! He has been diagnosed with Huntington, of all things! What are his options? What are causes of chorea? Can he fight it or not? I am so devastated! I do not think that I will be able to watch him wither away in front of my eyes day after day.
Huntington chorea is a hereditary disease. The gene responsible for this difficult condition is located on chromosome 4 of human genome. Almost always, the gene activates the disease around the age of 30 - 40. It affects the brain so both mental and physical state is deteriorating. I truly hope that you will gather strength and help your husband as much as you can.
