DNA testing for the Huntington’s disease gene has been available since 1993. For some, the test is taken to confirm a clinical diagnosis, while others know that they are at risk and want to predict if they will develop the disease. In any given scenario, the decision to have the genetic test for HD can be a difficult one for an individual from a family with Huntington’s disease.

Our goal is to provide you with a basic understanding of DNA testing for HD - as well as provide you with the resources that we hope will assist you in making your decision, both from the professional and personal perspectives.
