DIRECT GENETIC TESTING. Huntingtonâs disease has become a model for genetic testing in other adult-onset inherited disorders because the illness is relatively common, and there is widespread experience with it. Genetic testing programs began in 1986 with linkage testing and evolved to direct gene testing shortly after the gene was cloned in 1993.
Huntington's disease is caused by an altered gene. This gene is passed on from parent to child, but the condition isnât obvious at birth. The symptoms usually, but not always, first appear when the person is approaching middle age. Huntington's disease is a slow, progressive condition that affects people differently.
