   Is Huntington's disease inherited or inherited?

   • Huntington's disease is a condition that stops parts of the brain working properly over time. It's passed on (inherited) from a person's parents. It gets gradually worse over time and is usually fatal after a period of up to 20 years. The symptoms usually start at 30 to 50 years of age, but can begin much earlier or later.
