Baylor has a Huntington's clinic and mailing list.
This is their information:
OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION:
The Huntington's Disease Clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic for
Huntington's disease patients. The clinic offers not only diagnosis and
management of Huntington's disease, but also opportunities to participate in
research projects. The diagnosis of symptomatic patients is established by
clinical evaluation and confirmed by the DNA diagnostic test. Presymptomatic
diagnosis is performed by an experienced team of neurologists, a clinical
geneticist, a genetic counselor, and a clinical
psychologist. Prenatal diagnosis is also available. The DNA diagnosis is
generally not available for juveniles at risk for the disease. However, for
extraordinary cases in which the DNA diagnosis appears to be essential from
medical or social viewpoints, the Advisory Board investigates the situation
to make appropriate recommendations.
