Woody Guthrie was an American songwriter, musician, writer, and political activist who died with Huntington disease (HD) in 1967 at age 55.
The range of disease duration was between 2 and 17 years, the oldest living to age 91.
There is no cure for Huntington's disease. Life expectancy depends on a few factors, but the median survival period is estimated at 15-18 years after symptoms begin. Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive condition that causes involuntary muscle movements, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes.
It affects males and females equally and crosses all ethnic and racial boundaries. Typically, symptoms begin between age 30 and 55. Children of parents with Huntington's disease have a 50 percent chance of inheriting the HD gene.
The youngest symptomatic child documented had an age of onset of 18 months,3 with other children developing symptoms in their teens, meaning that some individuals with JHD may now be in their twenties. HD is a life-limiting condition usually lasting 15–20 years from onset.
