Huntington’s disease is a genetic disorder that affects the brain. It slowly causes nerve cells to break down over time, leading to problems with movement, thinking, and emotions. People with Huntington’s may experience involuntary movements, difficulty with coordination, memory loss, and mood changes.

The disease is inherited, meaning it gets passed down from parent to child. If a person has the Huntington’s gene, they have a high chance of developing the disease later in life. Currently, there is no cure, but genetic testing and treatments can help manage symptoms and plan for the future.

Using IVF with genetic testing allows parents to ensure they don’t pass the gene on to their children, giving them a healthier future.
