Huntington's Disease (HD) is a devastating,
hereditary, degenerative
brain disorder that results in a loss of cognitive, behavioral and
physical control, and for which, presently, there is no treatment or
cure. HD slowly diminishes the affected individual's ability to
walk,
think, talk and reason. Symptoms usually appear in an individual
between 30 and 50 years of age and progress over a 10 to 25 year
period. Eventually, a person with HD becomes totally dependent upon
others for his or her care. More than 30,000 people in the United
States are currently diagnosed with HD. Each of their siblings and
children has a 50 percent risk of developing the disease.
Although medications can relieve some symptoms in certain
individuals, research has yet to find a means of conquering or even
slowing the deadly progression of HD.
Proceeds from this very special evening will directly support the
HDSA
Center of Excellence at U.C. Davis Medical Center
and
