The official Twitter feed of the Hereditary Disease Foundation. Innovating research, discovering cures. #hdfcures #ResearchSpotlightWebinars The mission of the Hereditary Disease Foundation is to fund transformative research to find treatments, and ultimately a cure, for Huntington's disease and other related disorders. The Hereditary Disease Foundation funds the most promising, innovative and paradigm-changing research to cure Huntington’s disease (HD). Since HD is caused by a single gene, it serves as the model to potentially unlock cures for more complex brain disorders like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Lou Gehrig’s (ALS) diseases.
