    My mother died in 2017 from a stroke and also suffered from Huntington’s disease which got worse later in her 60s and 70. My sister went for the test and tested negative, my brother got tested and he is unfortunately positive with it. I choose not to get tested because that is my choice. Thankyou for showing this ABC and hopefully America has a better health insurance to deal with genetic diseases.

    It's great to see ABC doing a video on families with Huntington's disease; a rare, fatal, genetic brain disorder that affects adults and children that has NO CURE. I lost my three sisters-in-law and mother-in-law to this horrific disease. My family is blessed as my husband, John, tested negative for the mutated huntingtin gene that causes the disease. Since John doesn't have the mutated gene, our children are not at risk.

      My mother had Huntington's disease. My father was in denial; I cared for her until she died at age 41.
      I was 18 years old. My younger sister had it too, she also died at age 41. My youngest brother too had HD, gone at only 35 years on earth. Now, my younger brother is still battling this horrific disease for 25 years. At 53 he's still holding on with the care of his very patient, patient wife. They have 3 teenage girls who have the 50/50 chance of having HD. I always pray for my beautiful and smart nieces; I wonder what thoughts pass their minds 🤔 at night when they go to sleep...

Our Father Peter also had H.D. and sadly passed away aged only 51.

He’s been having difficulties with memory and focus, as well as several other symptoms related to Huntington’s. Hopefully the wait will prove he’s negative.

    Huntington’s has torn its way through my family, I’ve lost many to it including my father.
    Im 20 years old myself and it has had a hold over me almost every day of my life and sometimes the fear I may have it myself truly consumes me.
    I have yet to get tested and I honestly don’t know how to approach the whole subject and I don’t know if I have the guts to do it yet, I know this may seem ignorant but I’m afraid I will loose myself if this happens to be my fate.
    I need to be around for my family and I will do anything to assure this, I want to meet my children one day.
    I really hope that this field of medicine makes some progress, the lack of conversation regarding the topic is nerve racking none the less.
    To anyone else that may share my fear just know you are not alone, it is terrifying but it is a means to live your life with the greatest sense of purpose.

    If the mechanism that causes HD is inadvertent methylation of cytosines in CAG triplets, followed by spontaneous de-amination of said cytosines, converting them in thymine, the codon encoding glutamine (CAG) would be replaced by a stop codon ( TAG ). If my hypothesis is correct, perhaps decitabine and other inhibitors of methyltransferase could slow down the onset of HD.

    Are we ok with how insurance works in the is country? Maybe there is a bill being proposed that improves it where we can call our senators to support? Or what Non profit Orgs are fighting for improving the system? I don't know the solutions but let's not keep doing the same thing and expected a different result. I think we can take incremental change, if something doesn't work, take a step back and change.

    People tend to be very selfish. Kelsey wants desperately to experience the joy of having children even when she has been told that she has horrible condition that her children will very likely inherit.
