Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal neurological genetic disease where each child born to a parent with HD has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. There is no cure for HD, however, there is an option through Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) to stop HD passing on to the next generations. However, PGD is currently prohibitively expensive as the Australian Medicare system does not recognise or provide financial assistance to HD families.
Please support Huntington’s Victoria campaign to “Stop HD through PGD” by signing the petition below to let our Government know that as a community we believe access to affordable PGD through our existing Medicare system is a human right for those affected by HD.
