Predictive testing for Huntington's disease: after the gene. The United Kingdom Huntington's Disease Prediction Consortium.

Journal of medical genetics - 1 Dec 1993

Simpson S A, Harding A E

Abstract excerpt

The discovery of a mutation responsible for Huntington's disease (HD) offers the possibility of accurate predictive testing, as well as hope for treatment or prevention of this disease. We urge caution in the use of this new test as considerable ethical and counselling problems still exist, and new issues have arisen. The current guidelines for predictive testing should still apply, since it remains vital that...
