Description
The Hereditary Disease Foundation funds innovative research to cure [Huntington's disease](https://www.hdfoundation.org/what-is-huntingtons-disease) (HD) and impact other brain disorders. HD is an inherited, neurodegenerative disease causing irreversible declines in control of mood, memory, and movement. Currently there is no cure. Since HD is caused by a single gene, it serves as a model to potentially unlock cures for other brain disorders like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Lou Gehrig’s (ALS) diseases.
Our unique approach to searching for a cure began in 1968 when Dr. Milton Wexler established the Hereditary Disease Foundation after his wife Leonore was diagnosed with Huntington’s disease, which meant their daughters Alice and Nancy were also at risk.
