A Hereditary Disorder In the Family and the Family Life Cycle: Huntington Disease as a Paradigm

1 Dec 2002

Abstract excerpt

The implications of predictive DNA-testing for Huntington's Disease (HD) for the transitions in the family life cycle are described. HD is a hereditary disorder leading to personality changes, uncontrollable movements, cognitive impairment, and ultimately death in mostly adults. People at risk have the possibility to detect whether or not they carry the disease provoking-gene, but no treatment is available. In...
