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.
Itâs Genetic. Huntingtonâs Disease is genetic. If a genetic mutation in the gene that codes for Huntington Protein is identifiable, you have this mutation and will develop Huntingtonâs Disease. The mutant Huntington Protein has a ârepeat.â The glutamine sequence starts multiplying and lengthening the protein.
