This new volume in the Perspectives on Diseases & Disorders series provides an overview of Huntington's disease, including diagnosis, prevention, and current research. Controversies surrounding Huntington's - including whether or not it is beneficial to know if one carries the HD gene, the use of monkeys in Huntington's research, and marijuana as a legitimate treatment - are also discussed. The text also contains personal stories of people impacted by Huntington's disease, such as a woman reporting on the repercussions of getting tested and a writer trying to cope with his symptoms while on the job.
