Kenichi Meguro

Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary and deadly disorder that causes nerve cells in the brain to break down. This causes physical and mental competencies to weaken, and they get worse over time. There is no cure. If it starts early in life, it’s known as juvenile Huntington’s disorder. Medications are to be had to assist manage the signs and symptoms of Huntington's disease. But treatments cannot avoid the physical, mental and behavioural decay related with the condition.
