Huntington’s Disease
As Huntington’s disease is a relatively rare condition many GPs may not have come across a family where there is Huntington’s before, so when they do it can present many challenges. As Huntington’s disease is progressive, patients’ needs change over time and can be complex due to not only the impact of physical symptoms but those of a cognitive and psychiatric nature. As it is a genetic condition family members may also approach their GP with questions about testing to see if they carry the gene or about having children.
