Reviews

It should be an essential part of the library of all neurology and genetic departments ... it is so clearly written that it can be recommended to families affected by HD who have a desire to know as much as possible about the condition. Journal of Neuromuscular Disorders ... the third edition of Huntington's Disease is a goldmine ... Everyone who studies HD should own and read this book, and - to the extent that HD continues to provide a model and a benchmark - so should anyone interested in human genetic disorders Human Genetics, 114
