Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary neurological disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. This degeneration affects movement, cognition, and emotional stability, leading to a wide range of symptoms that worsen over time. HD is caused by a mutation in the HTT gene, which leads to the production of a toxic protein called huntingtin. As the disease progresses, individuals with Huntington's disease experience increasingly severe motor, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms, significantly impacting their quality of life and ability to function independently.
