Welcome Welcome and thank you for visiting our new Imana K Youth Huntington's Disease Foundation Internet site. We are glad to give you the opportunity to stay in touch with our foundation and our efforts.
At this point we will provide you with information regarding our purpose and goals. The emphasis of our site is to bring awareness and education of Youth Huntington's disease. This topic is certainly of interest to you because some of the early signs may go unnoticed. What is Huntington's disease? (also called Huntington's chorea, chorea major or HD) It's an neurological disorder characterized by abnormal body movements called chorea and a lack of coordination; it also affects a number of mental abilities and some aspects of behavior. Development of the disease is highly dependent on how many times DNA based Cytosine-Adenine-Guanine (CAG) repeats. Usually, CAG is repeated between 7 and 35 times; anything more than this, however, will increase the onset of this disease. |
